Answer:

13 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

the part of the ladder on the ground creates a right angle with the building where the base is 7 feet and the hypotenuse is 15 feet

we can use the pythagorean theorem to solve for the height of the building

let 'b' = height of building

7² + b² = 15²

49 + b² = 225

b² = 176

b = \sqrt{176}

\sqrt{176} = \sqrt{4}\sqrt{4}\sqrt{11} = 2·2\sqrt{11}

b = 4\sqrt{11} which is approximately 13.3 feet

What is the least common denominator of the fraction 3 x over x plus 1 plus the fraction x plus 1 over 2 x plus the fraction 5 o
Hoochie [10]
3x/(x+1) + (x+1)/(2x) + (5/x)

To find the least common denominator, we multiply the denominators that cannot factor into eachother. x, the denominator in 5/x, fits into 2x, so we do not need to multiply this number.
Therefore, the least common denominator is:
2x(x+1) 

The first term will be multiplied by 2x/2x
The second term will be multiplied by (x+1)/(x+1)
The third term will be multiplied by 2(x+1)

HELP ME PLEASEEEEE

Answer:  (x,y) = (-1, 1)

This means that x = -1 and y = 1

========================================================

Explanation:

The first equation says that y is the same as 2x+3

That allows us to substitute y for 2x+3 in the second equation like so:

2x+5y = 3

2x+5( y ) = 3

2x + 5(2x+3) = 3 .... y replaced with 2x+3

2x+10x+15 = 3

12x+15 = 3

12x = 3-15

12x = -12

x = -12/12

x = -1

Then we'll substitute this into the first equation to find y

y = 2x+3

y = 2(-1) + 3 .... x replaced with -1

y = -2+3

y = 1

Together x = -1 and y = 1 pair up to form the ordered pair solution (x,y) = (-1,1)

If you were to graph y = 2x+3 and 2x+5y=3 on the same xy grid, then you should see that the two lines intersect at the location (-1,1). This is a visual way to determine the solution quickly through use of a graphing calculator.
