Answer:
a = 19
Step-by-step explanation:
If the rate of change is -8, subtract 8 from your y value of 27. And if 19 is correct, you should be able to subtract 8, and get 11 as the next number in the function, which you do, so 19 is the value of a.

Answer:
D 36
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Write the information algebraically</em>
c = 3a
c + a = 48
c = children, a = adults
<em>In the second sentence (in bold), we can replace c with 3a</em>
c + a = 48 → 3a + a = 48
<em>Simplify</em>
3a + a = 48 → 4a = 48 → a = 12 (divide both sides by 4)
<em>We can then substitute or plug in a = 12 into the original equation:</em>
c + a = 48 → c + 12 = 48 → c = 36 (subtract 12 from both sides)
<h3>There are 36 children</h3>
It should be 12 ft away from the wall. Not 4 ft. You do not just subtract the difference because as you pull it away from the wall, the ladder is mostly moving horizontally with only a small vertical change.
You can use Pythagorean Theorem to find the answer. Think of the ladder as the hypotenuse of a right triangle with the wall and the ground as the legs.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
16^2 + b^2 = 20^2
b^2 = 20^2 - 16^2
b^2 = 144
b = 12 ft
