If triangle ABC is equilateral, you know that each angle is 60 degrees because 180(the total of all angles in a triangle) divided by 3 is 60. 60 would equal 3x-12. 60=3x-12 then you cancel out the 12, 56=3x, and finally divide by 3... x=18.66! Hope this helps!
Answer:
9.33 feet = 111.96 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
If we have similar triangles, the rate between matching sides is the same.
So the length of the smaller ladder (18 ft) over the length of the taller ladder (24 ft) is equal to the distance from the bottom of the smaller ladder to the tree (7 ft) over the distance from the bottom of the taller ladder to the tree (x ft):
18 / 7 = 24 / x
x = 7 * 24 / 18
x = 9.33 feet
To find this measure in inches, we just need to multiply by 12:
x = 9.33 * 12 = 111.96 inches

Answer:
(x, y) = (0, 1/2) or (1, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
The first equation factors as ...
x(3x -y) = 0
This has solutions x=0 and y=3x.
__
<u>x = 0</u>
Using this in the second equation gives ...
2y -0 = 1
y = 1/2
(x, y) = (0, 1/2) is a solution
__
<u>y = 3x</u>
Using the expression for y in the second equation, we get ...
2(3x) -5x = 1
x = 1 . . . . . . . . . simplify
y = 3x = 3 . . . . using x=1 in the first equation
(x, y) = (1, 3) is a solution

Interestingly, the (red line) graph of 3x^2 -xy = 0 produced by this graphing calculator has a "hole" at x=0, It says that point is (0, undefined). In a sense, y is undefined, in that it can be <em>anything</em>. A more appropriate graph would graph that equation as the two lines x=0 and y=3x.
