precedence is:
1 Parentheses (simplify inside 'em)
2 Exponents
3 Multiplication and Division (from left to right)
4 Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)
(7+41) = 48
48 ÷ 2 = 24
24 -15 = 9
It should be 12 ft away from the wall. Not 4 ft. You do not just subtract the difference because as you pull it away from the wall, the ladder is mostly moving horizontally with only a small vertical change.
You can use Pythagorean Theorem to find the answer. Think of the ladder as the hypotenuse of a right triangle with the wall and the ground as the legs.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
16^2 + b^2 = 20^2
b^2 = 20^2 - 16^2
b^2 = 144
b = 12 ft
