Answer:

<em>p ≥ 5</em>

<em>Scott will buy at least 5 kilograms of candy.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Inequalities</u>

The candy Scott buys cost $7 per kilogram.

Let's set p=number of kilograms of candy Scott will buy.

The money spent to buy p kilograms of candy is 7p dollars.

The condition states he will spend at least $35 on candies, thus the following inequality is formed:

7p ≥ 35

Dividing by 7:

p ≥ 35/7

Operating:

p ≥ 5

Scott will buy at least 5 kilograms of candy.

A 20 foot ladder leaning against a wall is used to reach a window that is 17 feet above the ground. How far from the wall is the
GarryVolchara [31]

The bottom of the ladder is 10.5 feet away from the wall

Step-by-step explanation:

The given scenario forms a right triangle.

Where

The length of ladder will be the hypotenuse

The wall on which the window is situated will ebt he perpendicular and

The distance between the foot of ladder and the wall will be the base

So,

Hypotenuse = H = 20 foot

Perpendicular = P = 17 feet

Base = B = ?

Using the Pythagoras theorem

H^2=P^2+B^2\\(20)^2=(17)^2+B^2\\400=289+B^2\\400-289=B^2\\B^2=111\\Taking\ square\ root\ on\ both\ sides\\\sqrt{B^2}=\sqrt{111}\\B=10.53\\Rounding\ off\ to\ the\ nearest\ tenth\\B=10.5

The bottom of the ladder is 10.5 feet away from the wall
