4b. Laura has a 12-foot ladder. The safety instructions recommend the
base of the ladder be placed 4 feet from the base of the wall. How highwill the ladder be able to reach on the wall? WRITE YOUR ANSWER AS A SIMPLIFIED RADICAL. (HINT: Use the abbreviation sqrt to mean "square root of." For example an answer might look like 5sqrt3, and be read "five times the square root of 3".)
Let us try to formulate the expressions one by one.
let the number be x.
Step 1:
six time the number is 6*x = 6x
Step 2:
product of the number and -3 is -3x
Step 3:
now let us make equation for it:
adding 3x on the left side,
dividing right side by 9
x=45/9 = 5
So the number is x=5
