Which is steeper, a slide that rises 3 feet for every 2 feet of run, or a sliding pole that rises 5 feet for every 3 feet of run.

  the sliding pole with rise/run = 5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

If you compare the rise of each for a run of 6 ft, you find the first (slide) has a rise of 3·3 = 9 ft, while the second (pole) has a rise of 2·5 = 10 ft. Hence the sliding pole is steeper.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
