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.

Yo! Solving linear equations with integers! These are just some practice exercises I need help with! So they should probably be
drek231 [11]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Solving linear equation with one variable:</h3>

   1) -4 + 3x = 4x - 8

        Add 4 to both sides

      -4 + 3x + 4 = 4x - 8 +  4

               3x     = 4x - 4

Subtract 4x from both sides,

        3x - 4x = -4x + 4x - 4

              -x   = -4

                \sf \boxed{\bf x = 4}

2) -5x - 8 = 2

Add 8 to both sides

 -5x - 8 + 8 = 2 + 8

            -5x  = 10

Divide both sides by (-5)

            \sf \dfrac{-5}{-5}x =\dfrac{10}{-5}

                 \sf \boxed{\bf x = -2}

3) 12r - 14 = 5(2-r)

    12r - 14 = 5*2 - 5*r

     12r - 14 = 10 - 5r

Add 14 to both sides

 12r - 14 + 14 = 10 - 5r + 14

             12r  = 24 - 5r

Add 5r to both sides

        12r + 5r = 24

               17r = 24

Divide both sides by 17

                 r = 24/17

4) 3x - 8 = -(17 + 2x)

  3x - 8 = -17 - 2x

Add 8 to both sides

3x - 8 + 8 = -17 - 2x + 8

           3x = -9 - 2x

Add 2x to both sides

      3x + 2x = -9

            5x  = -9

Divide both sides by 5

              \sf \dfrac{5}{5}x=\dfrac{-9}{5}\\\\\boxed{x = \dfrac{-9}{5}}

I need help with like terms
professor190 [17]
I’m guessing you mean like this.
2x+4y+5x+8y.
2x and 5x are like terms because the x’s are alike. If you add 2+5, the answer is 7. So therefore 2x+5x=7x.

4y and 8y are like terms because the y’s are alike. So the answer to 4y+8y would be 12y.

If you need extra help, give me a problem and I will help you solve it.
