Answer:

18.4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

-use the formula C^2 = A^2 + B^2 for a right triangle, which is made by the ladder and the wall.

-let the ladder be C, the wall be a, the base to the bottom be b.

-substitude into the equation, which will leave us with:

C^2 = 17^2 + 7^2

C^2 = 289 + 49

C^2 = 338

C = square root of 338, which is 18.4 feet!

April sold 75 tickets to the school Christmas play and collected $495. If adult tickets cost $8 and children tickets were $5 how
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

~First we have to write our two equations that are:

1. 8x+5y=$495(becoz the no. of adult tickets is unknown and children is unknown we use variables instead and multiplying them with the amount of money for each gives us 495)

2. x+y=75( No. of adult tickets and children altogether gives us 75)

~Use the substitution method by using any of the equations and putting the variable you want as the subject and then putting its values in the next equation:

x+y=75

x=75-y

~Substitute to find y(no. of children’s ticket)

8x+5y=495

8(75-y)+5y=495

600-8y+5y=495

-8y+5y=495-600

-3y=-105

y=-105/-3

y=35

Therefore, the no. of children tickets is 35.

~Substituting y in the substitution equation(x=75-y):

x=75-35

x=40

Therefor no. of tickets sold to adults is 40.

~Final answers:

Adults=40

Children=35

Simplify the expression 3 1/3/3 1/3. Explain how the expression and its simplified form show that the set of irrational numbers
vampirchik [111]
The expression given is ambiguous according to the standard rules of math (PEMDAS) due to the lack of appropriate parentheses and probably the exponentiation symbol ^.

From the context, I assume it to mean
(3^(1/3)) / (3^(1/3)) = 1

Since 3^(1/3) is the cube-root of 3, and is thus irrational.
However, the quotient is exactly 1, which is a rational number.

The example is therefore a counter-example for the statement that "set of irrational numbers is closed under division", or stated differently,
"<span>the set of irrational numbers is not closed under division"</span>
