So we are trying to solve for x so in order to do that we need to get x by itself on one side of the equal sign
first we are going to combine like terms on each side of the equal side
so on the left side we see 4+9 these are booth whole numbers not attached to a variable so we can simplify this by adding these two values together making our equation: x/13 = 12
our x is still not by itself so in order to get it by itself we need to get rid of that 13
we need that x is being divided by 13 so in order to get rid a divided value we have to do the opposite to both sides - multiply by 13 on each side!
x/13 x 13 = x
12 x 13 = 156
so our equation is now:
x = 156
is our x by itself on one side of the equal sign? yes! so our x value is 156
This question needs more information. So what if a diagram shows an 8 foot ladder leaning against a wall?
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

it cant be a negative number or zero
so now you are left with 0.5, 2 and 7.9
15.7 - 0.5 = 15.2 ( 15.2/2 = 7.6) this is possible
15.7 - 2 = 13.7 ( 13.7/2 = 6.85) this is possible
15.7 - 7.9 = 7.8 ( 7.8/2 = 3.9) (7.9/2 = 3.95) since the sides would be shorter than half the base this is not possible to form a triangle
so b can be either 0.5 or 2
