Let x + 1.5 be length of segment above left hand
Let 2x be length of segment below left hand
15 = x + 1.5 + 2x
15 = 3x + 1.5
15 - 1.5 = 3x
13.5 = 3x
13.5/3= 3x/3
4.5 = x
x = 4.5
This is the length above the left hand.
2x must be then 4.5*2 = 9 foot
This is the length below the left hand.
Checking
4.5 + 9 + 1.5 = 15 foot
Adding length below left hand & length of left hand to right hand:
9 + 1.5 = 10.5
The right hand is hence 10.5 foot far up the pole.

Answer:
6 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Difference in distance
= 15 - 12
= 3 mi
time taken
= 30 mins
= 1/2 hour
Speed
= 3 ÷ 1/2
= 6 mph
The linear equation that is perpendicular to the line x+3y=21 is:
y = 3*x - 6
<h3>How to find the equation of the line?</h3>
A general line in the slope-intercept form is written as:
y = m*x + b
Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Two linear equations are perpendicular if the product between the two slopes is equal to -1.
Rewriting the given line we can get:
x +3y = 21
3y = 21 - x
y = 21/3 - x/3
y = (-1/3)*x + 21/3
Then the slope is (-1/3), if our line is perpendicular to this one, then:
m*(-1/3) = -1
m = 3
our line is:
y = 3*x + b
To find the value of b, we use the fact that our line passes through (1, - 3)
-3 = 3*1 + b
-3 - 3 = b
-6 = b
The line is y = 3*x - 6
