5 0

You have to distribute!
6(x) = 6x and 6(-6)=-36
So now you have 6x-36=-3(-x+3)
Now do the same on the other side.
-3(-x)=3x -3(3)=-9
So now, 6x-36=3x-9
Combine the like terms:
Subtract 3x in both sides.
6x-3x=3x
Now: 3x-36=-9
Add 36 in both sides.
3x=27
Divide by 3 on both sides to get x alone.
3x/3= x 27/3=9
X=9

A ladder is leaning against a building so that the distance from the ground to the top of the ladder is 3 feet

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

39 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question;

let length of ladder =x feet

height of ladder will be=x-3 feet

ground distance of ladder bottom to building=15 feet

Applying Pythagorean relation

a²+b²=c²

where a=15 feet b=x-3 feet and c=x feet thus

x²-15²=(x-3)²

x²-225=x²-6x+9

collect like term

x²-x²-225-9=-6x

-234= -6x

x= 39 feet length of ladder

distance from ground to top of ladder= 39-3=36 feet
