145.95 - 2x = -4.05
subtract -145.95 from both side of the equation
-2x = -4.05 - 145.95
-2x = -150
Divide both sides by -2
-2x/2 = -150/2
x = 75
Final answer
Hope this helps!!!!
Factor 3x^2 - 12x + 3
3x^2 - 12x + 3
answer is 3(x^2 - 4x + 1)
Answer: the distance of the base of the house to the foot of the ladder is 6.84 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The scenario is shown in the attached photo.
Right angle triangle ABC is formed when the ladder leans against the wall of the house.
AC = the height of the ladder
AB = x feet = distance of the base of the house to the foot of the ladder
BC is the wall of the building.
To determine x, we will apply trigonometric ratio
Cos # = adjacent/hypotenuse
Where
# = 70 degrees
Hypotenuse = 20
Adjacent = x
Cos 70 = x/20
x = 20cos70
x = 20 × 0.3420
x = 6.84 feets
36 divided by 2 = 18 and 18 + 24 = 42
