It is 236. Happy to help (:
They are simple linear equations with one unknown, lets tackle them, one step at the time solving for the unknown:
4x - 2(x - 5) = x + 13
4x - 2x + 10 = x + 13
2x + 10 = x + 13
2x - x = 13 - 10
x = 3
that is the solution.
3(6 - x) - 4 = 5x + 2(7x + 3)
18 - 3x - 4 = 5x + 14x + 6
14 - 3x = 19x + 6
14 - 6 = 19x + 3x
8 = 22x
x = 8/22 = 4/11
Answer:
6.45 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
He starts 17 and 1/2 feet off the ground
Elevation relative to ground: 17 1/2
Then he increases the height by 4 and 3/4
Expression: 17 1/2 +4 3/4
Elevation relative to ground: 22 1/4
Next he decreases the elevation by 15.8 feet
Expression: 22.25-15.8
Elevation relative to ground: 6.45
The answer 6.45 feet from the ground
