A 40 foot ladder is set against the side of a house so that it reaches up 24 feet. If Lily grabs the ladder at its base and pulls it 4 feet farther from the house, how far up the
side of the house will the ladder reach now? (The answer is not 20 ft.) Round to the
nearest tenth of a foot.

28.56 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x

step-by-step explanation:

last month maria hiked the 5-mile mountain trail a number of times and she hiked the 10-mile canal trail several times. let x represent the number of times she hiked the 5-mile trail, and let y represent the number of times she hiked the 10-mile trail. if she hiked a total of 90 miles, which equation can be used to find the number of times maria hiked each trail? x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x

step-by-step explanation:

an equation by definition has to have two or more variables (x and 2 in this case)
