A ladder of length 2x+1 feet is positioned against a wall such that bottom is x-1 feet away from a wall. The distance between th
Natali5045456 [20]
So leangh of ladder=2x+1

bottom edgre=x-1
wall edge=2x

so therefor, since this is a right triangle, use pythagorean theorem
a^2+b^2=c^2
c=hypotonues=longest side
b and a=sides touching the right angle

so x-1 and 2x are a and b
2x+1=c

subsitute
(x-1)^2+(2x)^2=(2x+1)^2
x^2-2x+1+4x^2=4x^2+4x+1
add like terms
5x^2-2x+1=4x^2+4x+1
subtract 1 from both sdies
5x^2-2x=4x^2+4x
subtract 4x from both sdies
5x^2-6x=4x^2
subtract 4x^2 from both sides
x^2-6x =0
factor out the x using distributive property which is
ab+ac=a(b+c)
x^2-6x=x(x-6)
(x)(x-6)=0

if xy=0 then assume x and/or y=0
x=0
we remember that one of the side legnths is 2x and if x=0 then the side legnth=0 which is not possible, so we discard

x-6=0
add 6 to both sides
x=6

subsitute and solve


legnth of ladder=2x+1
x=6 subsitute
2(6)+1=12+1=13
legnth of ladder =13 feet

height=2x
2(6)=12
height=12 feet

base=x-1
6-1=5



legnth of ladder=13 feet
height=12 feet
base=5 feet

Andy watches 10 television shows every week. He watches dramas, comedies, and reality shows. Dramas are 1 hour long, comedies ar
Lunna [17]

Answer:

d+0.5c+2r=8\\\\ c=2d

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d= dramas

c= comedies

r= reality shows

Dramas are 1 hour long, comedies are 30  minutes, and reality shows are 2 hours long.

Total time spent on watching = 1 \times(d) + 0.5 \times (c) +2  \times(r)= d+0.5c+2r

 [  30\ minutes=\dfrac{30}{60} \ hours = 0.5 hour \ \ (1 hour = 60\ minutes)  ]

Since he spent 8 hours for this, that means

d+0.5c+2r=8     → First equation

He watches twice as many comedies as dramas.

i.e. c=2d → second equation

So, the system of equations could be used to determine how many of each type of show he watches each week:

d+0.5c+2r=8\\\\ c=2d

George walked on a treadmill 16 ¾ miles over 4 days. How many miles did he walk per day?
elena-s [515]

Answer:

64 3/16 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Total distance walked = 16 3/4 miles = 67/4 miles (converted to improper fraction to help with division later)

number of days walked = 4 days

Miles walked per day = total distance walked ÷ number of days

= 16 3/4 ÷ 4

= 67/4  ÷ 4

= 67/4 x 1/4

= 67/16

= 64 3/16 miles
