Answer:

distribute parenthesis

Step-by-step explanation:

6(2x + 1) = 4x - 5 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

12x + 6 = 4x - 5 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

8x + 6 = - 5 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

8x = - 11 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = - \frac{11}{8}

spayn [35]
C=x+9, c+x=99, c=99-x

So we have two equations equal to c, c=x+9 and c=99-x, since c=c:

x+9=99-x

2x+9=99

2x=90

x=45, and since c=x+9, c=54

So Charlie weighs 54 kg and his brother weighs 45 kg.

A 20 foot ladder leaning against a wall is used to reach a window that is 17 feet above the ground. How far from the wall is the
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

The wall is 10.5 foot far from the bottom of the ladder.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height of the ladder leaning against wall (Hypotenuse) = 20 foot.

Height from where the window is above from the ground (Leg1) = 17 feet.

To find the distance of the bottom of the ladder far from the wall (Leg2) = ?

Now, by using the pythagorean theorem:

Hypotenuse^{2} = (Leg1)^{2} + (Leg2)^{2}

20^{2} =17^{2}+(Leg2) ^{2}

400=289+(Leg2)^{2}

400-289=(Leg2)^{2}

111=(Leg2)^{2}

by squaring both sides

Leg2=10.535

10.535 foot rounded nearest tenth is 10.5 foot.

Therefore, the wall is 10.5 foot far from the bottom of the ladder.

igomit [66]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

To complete the question, here are the answer choices:

<em>A)  =A1*A2*A3*A4 </em>

<em>B)  =A1*A2+A3+A1*A4 </em>

<em>C)  =A1*(A2+A3+A1)*A4 </em>

<em>D)  =A1*A2+(A3+A1)*A4</em>

<em />

We first need to multiply A1 and A2, this will give weight of passengers.

To get weight of luggage, we multiply A1 and A4.

We also need the checked weight to add to that, which is in A3. So then we add up A3 with those 2.

So we will get

A1*A2 + A1*A4 + A3

This is given in a different order in Option B. Hence, option B is right.
