Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
s<30
Put in 28 for s
28<30
Twenty eight is less than 30 so it is a solution
The answer is 12 percent change
-2 | 8-x| - 6 = -12...add 6 to both sides
-2 |8-x| = -12 + 6
-2 |8-x| = - 6...divide both sides by -2
|8-x| = -6/-2
|8-x| = 3
8 - x = -3 -(8 - x) = -3
-x = -3-8 -8 + x = -3
-x = -11 x = -3 + 8
x = 11 x = 5

Answer:
7 feet long
Step-by-step explanation:
This set up will give a right angle triangle where;
Length of the ladder is the hypotenuse = x
The distance of the ladder to the house is the adjacent = 3 feet
Angle of elevation theta = 72 degrees
Using the CAH in trigonometry identity;
cos theta = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos 72 = 3/hyp
hyp = 3/cos72
hyp = 3/0.4258
hyp = 7.05 feet
Hence the ladder is approximately 7 feet long
