Answer: $18

Step-by-step explanation:

You had a total of $60.

You spent 30% of your money on shorts.

The question would like to know what that 30% translates to in actual dollars so you need to find out what 30% of $60 is:

= 30% * 60

= $18

Explain the steps that are necessary to solve 4x - 2(x + 3) = x + 1
Sidana [21]
So you would distribute what's in the parenthesis and end up with 4x-2x-6=x+1, then you combine like terms and end up with 2x-6=x+1, now you can add 6 to both sides or subtract 1 both sides (basically anything goes for this step just make sure you apply the same thing on both sides) so I'll add 6 and continue just to show you... then you end up with 2x=x+7 then you subtract 1x on both sides to get x=7. sorry it's a lot hopefully you get it know!

If you place a 17-foot ladder against the top of a 8-foot building, how many feet will the bottom of the ladder be from the bott
Goshia [24]

Answer:

15 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem involves using the Pythagorean theorem, since the figure made with the ladder, building, and ground would make a right triangle. You are given the values 17ft and 8ft, which is enough to plug into the Pythagorean theorem.

The ladder, 17ft, would be the longest side (hypotenuse). The 8ft building would be one of the legs of the right triangle.

1. Plug your given values correctly into the Pythagorean Theorem.

a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}

8^{2} + b^{2} = 17^{2}

2. Now solve for b, which is your unknown distance (the distance the bottom of the ladder is from the bottom of the building).

8^{2} + b^{2} = 17^{2} --> Square 8 and 17

64 + b^{2} = 289 --> Subtract 64 from both sides

b^{2} = 225 --> Square root both sides to get b by itself

b = 15

3. The distance is 15 feet

*Note: to make solving this problem easier, try drawing out the given situation, namely the building and the ladder
