Find the unit rate:
1/4 yd 1(5)
---------- = -------- = 5/4 yards, or 1 1/4 yards, in one hour. This is 1.25 yards.
1/5 hr 4(1)
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We look for where
. The way you find the answer is first, find the point
. Draw a line straight up and down, and see where that line intersects the function. Those intersection points are your answer(there will always be only 1 for a function, but if a graph isn't a function, there might be more than 1).
Using this method here, we see that
intersects our line at
, so
.
Answer:
10.7 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The ladder, the ground and the wall form the shape of a right angled triangle as shown in the image below.
The hypotenuse of the triangle is 14 feet (length of ladder)
The base of the triangle is 9 feet long (the distance from the base of the ladder to the wall)
We need to find the height of the triangle. We can apply Pythagoras rule:

where hyp = hypotenuse
a = base of the triangle
b = height of the triangle
Therefore:

The wall reaches 10.7 feet high.
Answer:
x = 10 is your answer
- Explain -
Step 1: subtract 1 from both sides (subtraction of equality)
which will give us:
2x = 21 - 1
which equals to
2x = 20
Step 2: Divide both sides by 2
which is
2x/2 = 20/2
2/2 = 1 and 20/2 = 10
Therefore the answer is x = 10
