The answer to your question 4x-4y= -2 plus -9x-4y= -3 is -5 because in order to find the result of the two equations would be to add the solutions to both of them together.
By the Pythagorean theorem
50^2 = x^2 +(x +34)^2
2500 = 2x^2 +68x + 1156
x^2 +34x -672 = 0
(x -14)(x +48) = 0
x = 14 or -48
The distance from the wall to the base of the ladder is 14 ft.

7-24-25 is a Pythagorean triple. The dimensions here are double those values. It can be handy to know a few of the Pythagorean triples, as that can let you write down the answers to problems without having to go through the equations.
Your answer is 3277 because a negative divided by a negitive makes it a positive.
Step-by-step explanation:
part A
y=nx
part B
