Answer:

10 5/6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Tail= 1.5+2Kite

Kite+Tail=15.5

x+1.5+2x=15.5

3x=15.5-1.5

3x=14

x=14/3=4 2/3

Kite=4 2/3

Tail= 1.5+2(4 2/3)=10 5/6

Answer:

We know that the kite with the tail is 15 feet and 6 inches. While 6 inches is 0,50 foot, it's 15,5 feet. If the lenght of the kite is x, then:

15,5 = x + 1,5 + 2x

15,5 = 3x + 1,5     / - 1,5 (both sides)

14 = 3x             / : 3 (both sides)

x ≈ 4,66

The kite is approx .4,66 feet long. It means that the tail is about 15,5 - 4,66 = 10,84 feet long.

3^5 * 9^5 = 3^n<br> Find n please
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

In this equation n = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we first must make each term a base 3. Since 9 is 3 squared, we can change it easily to base 3.

3^5 * 9^5 = 3^n

3^5 * (3^2)^5 = 3^n

3^5 * 3^10 = 3^n

3^15 = 3^n

Now that we have both in simple term of 3 raised to a power, we can eliminate the 3's and see that 15 = n
