Let x + 1.5 be length of segment above left hand
Let 2x be length of segment below left hand
15 = x + 1.5 + 2x
15 = 3x + 1.5
15 - 1.5 = 3x
13.5 = 3x
13.5/3= 3x/3
4.5 = x
x = 4.5
This is the length above the left hand.
2x must be then 4.5*2 = 9 foot
This is the length below the left hand.
Checking
4.5 + 9 + 1.5 = 15 foot
Adding length below left hand & length of left hand to right hand:
9 + 1.5 = 10.5
The right hand is hence 10.5 foot far up the pole.
Isolate the x. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side you do to the other.
Subtract 2y from both sides
2x + 2y (-2y) = 10 (-2y)
2x = 10 - 2y
Isolate the x, divide 2 from both sides and from all terms.
(2x)/2 = (10 - 2y)/2
x = 5 - y
Place the variable in the front
x = -y + 5
x = -y + 5 is your answer
hope this helps
Answer:
Mixed Number Form:
-1 3/7
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
4p^3 (4p + 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
All we can do with this equation is factor it.
16p^4 + 4p^3
When we look at the coefficients, there is a common factor of 4 with 16 and 4. The p's are also common factors, and we can take out a common factor of x^3. We can combine these common factors and take them out of the equation at the same time.
4p^3 (4p + 1)
