Hope this helps! :) When you multiply by 5 on both sides, it cancels out the 5 on the left side!(of the equal sign). To undo division, you must use multiplication! On the left side, division is being used, so multiply it and it goes away(Or undos it)!

10t = b - 4

12b+8t = $348

This is a system of equations. I’ll be solving through substitution.

In the first equation. solving for b (the easier variable to isolate) gives you:

b = 10t + 4

Substitute this into the second equation:

12(10t+4) +8t = 348

120t+48+8t = 348

128t = 300

t = 2.34375 —> round it to the nearest cent to get 2.34 dollars

b = 10t+4

b = 10(2.34)+4

b = 27.4 dollars

A 20 foot ladder is leaning against the side of a building. The bottom of the ladder is 4 feet from the wall. How many feet abov
Semenov [28]
It form a right triangle
legnth of ladder is hypotonuse
bottom of ladder from wall distance is one leg
distance up wall is other leg
a^2+b^2=c^2
c=hypotonuse and a and b are legs

4^2+b^2=20^2
16+b^2=400
minus 16 both sides
b^2=384
sqrt both sides
b=8√6 ft
aprox
b=19.59ft from ground

Question is on the picture !
Nataly [62]

Answer: 122.5

======================================================

Explanation:

First thing to do is to find the perimeter of figure B. Add up all the sides and we get: 5+9+9+12 = 14+21 = 35.

The scale factor 7:2 means that if the perimeter of figure A was 7, then the perimeter of figure B would be 2. Or it could be 14 for A and 4 for B. And so on. The idea is that the two perimeters scale up or down together. This allows us to set up the proportion below in which we can solve for x

(perimeter of A)/(perimeter of B) = 7/2

x/35 = 7/2

x*2 = 35*7 .... cross multiply

2x = 245

2x/2 = 245/2 .... divide both sides by 2

x = 122.5

The perimeter of figure A is 122.5
