It form a right triangle
legnth of ladder is hypotonuse
bottom of ladder from wall distance is one leg
distance up wall is other leg
a^2+b^2=c^2
c=hypotonuse and a and b are legs

4^2+b^2=20^2
16+b^2=400
minus 16 both sides
b^2=384
sqrt both sides
b=8√6 ft
aprox
b=19.59ft from ground

Answer:

y = \frac{32}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, move over the negative 3/4 fraction (don't forget to swap the operation i.e subtract to add):

\frac{y}{8} = \frac{7}{12}  + \frac{3}{4}

Now, to add the two fractions, simply multiply the numerator and denominator by 3:

\frac{3*3}{4*3} = \frac{9}{12}

Now add this to the other fraction:

\frac{9}{12} + \frac{7}{12} = \frac{16}{12}

This can be simplified down by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 4:

\frac{4}{3}

Which now simplifies the original equation to:

\frac{y}{8}  = \frac{4}{3}

Remove the y out of the fraction:

\frac{1}{8}y = \frac{4}{3}

Now multiply both sides by 8:

(\frac{1}{8}y) * 8 = (\frac{4}{3}) * 8

y = \frac{4*8}{3}

y = \frac{32}{3}

Hope this helps!
