Answer:

It's being divided by 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, the variable being used in the equation is being divided by 5. This is represented by the / symbol in the equation which is the symbol for division. If we multiply both sides by 5 we can isolate the variable M and get its value like so...

M/5 = -40   ... multiply both sides by 5

M = -200

Therefore in this scenario, the value of M would be -200

a 9ft ladder is placed 4.5 feet from the base of a wall. How high up will the ladder reach? Round to the nearest hundredth.
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{7.79 \ \text{feet}}

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that we have a 9 foot long ladder resting upon a wall, with an unknown height, but the ladder is 4.5 feet away from the wall.

This can be represented as a triangle, where x is the unknown side.

    |\

    |  \

x   |    \      9

    |      \

    |        \                  

    |_____\

    4.5

We can use The Pythagorean Theorem to find the value of x. The theorem states that a^2+b^2=c^2, where a and b are the lengths of the legs and c is the length of the hypotenuse.

However, we already know the hypotenuse and one leg. Therefore we can substitute inside the equation to find the missing value.

a^2 + 4.5^2 = 9^2\\\\a^2 + 20.25 = 81\\\\a^2 = 60.75\\\\a \approx 7.79

Hope this helped!
