Step-by-step explanation:

step 1. This is a right triangle where a^2 + b^2 = c^2 (c is the hypotenuse).

step 2. a^2 + 6^2 = 8^2.

step 3. a^2 = 64 - 36.

step 4. a^2 = 28.

step 5. a (the ladder height along the wall) = sqrt (28) where sqrt is the square root.

For this case, the first thing we are going to do is rewrite the equation correctly.
 We have then:
 T = 50 + (N-40) / 4
 We substitute the value of N = 98, we have then:
 T = 50 + (98-40) / 4
 T = 64.5 degrees Fahrenheit.
 Answer:
 the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, T is:
 T = 64.5 degrees Fahrenheit.

Cody made deposits of $45, $18, and $27 into his checking account. He then wrote checks for $21 and $93. Write an expression to
zysi [14]
<span>C = 45 + 18 + 27 - 21 - 93 C = -24 Let's use the variable C to represent the change in the balance in Cody's checking account. The easiest way to make the expression is to simply apply the additions and subtractions directly. So let's start with C C "Cody made deposits of $45, $18, and $27 into his checking account." C = 45 + 18 + 27 "He then wrote checks for $21 and $93." C = 45 + 18 + 27 - 21 - 93 So the expression to represent the change to Cody's checking account is C = 45 + 18 + 27 - 21 - 93 Now to simplify it. All you need to do is combine terms together. How far you go is up to you. So let's do it. C = 45 + 18 + 27 - 21 - 93 I'll add together all the deposits. C = (45 + 18 + 27) - 21 - 93 C = 90 - 21 - 93 And I'll combine the checks. C = 90 - 114 So now you can tell at a glance that Cody deposited $90 and wrote checks for $114. But we can make it simpler and combine those as well. So C = -24 And this tells you that Cody's checking account balance is now $24 lower than it was before he started making deposits and writing checks.</span>
