Jake plans to use a ramp to make it easier to move a piano out of the back of his truck. the back of the truck is 333333 inches tall and the ramp is 656565 inches long. 3333xx\text{back of truck}back of truck6565 what is the horizontal distance from the end of the ramp to the back of the truck

56 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the length of the back of the truck = 33 inches,

The length of the ramp = 65 inches.

Let x be the horizontal distance from the end of the ramp to the back of the truck,

Hence, by applying the Pythagoras theorem, (shown below)

Thus, the horizontal distance from the end of the ramp to the back of the truck = 56 inches.

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!
