Answer:
First since 2 of the options ask for the width of BM lets solve for it using the Pythagorean theorem for both sides of point L:
a² + b² = c²
30² + b² = 50²
b² = 50² - 30²
b² = 1600
b = 40 Line BL = 40 ft
Since the ladder is 50 feet it is the same length on the other side as well
a² + b² = c²
40² + b² = 50²
b² = 50² - 40²
b² = 900
b = 30 line LM is 30 ft
SO line lm + line bl = 30 + 40 = 70 ft
A is true because ^
B isn't true because as we solved for earlier, BL is 40
C is true because line LM is in fact 30 ft as we solved for
D is not true because as we said earlier BM is 70
E is true because the same ladder was used on both sides of the street

Answer:
x = 3 and x = -12
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve an absolute value equation, you create two equations, one where the right side is negated and one where the right side isn't:
| 2x + 9 | = 15 becomes:
2x + 9 = 15 and 2x + 9 = -15
2x = 6 and 2x = -24
x = 3 and x = -12
Why this works is that |-x| and |x| will both be equal to 0. Remember that absolute value is the distance a number is away from 0.
Answer:
x-axis(independent) = 1.5
y-axis(dependant) = 75ft
Step-by-step explanation:
An INDEPENDENT variable is the variable yourself can not change, in this case its time. The DEPENDANT variable is the variable that is changed to affect data you are solving for. Idk if this helps you at all to understand for future references but i hope it did!
