2(b+3) = 2
2b + 6 = 2 ( -6 )
2b = -4 ( / 2)
b = -2
Answer:
<em>The ladder touches the wall at 24 feet from the ground.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The wall of the building, the ground, and the ladder form a right triangle, whose longer side is the length of the ladder.
In any right triangle, we can apply Pythagora's theorem to find any missing side length.
The ladder is 26 feet in length, the distance from the bottom of the ladder and the building is 10 feet. Calling H to the distance above the ground where the ladder touches the wall, then:

Calculating:

Solving:



H=24 feet
The ladder touches the wall at 24 feet from the ground.
The first step to solve this is to multiply the numbers
42 + 312 - 33 ÷ 32
then divide the numbers
42 + 312 - 1.03125
use the addition and subtraction rules to calculate the expression
352.96875
this means that the correct answer to your question will be 352.96875.
