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

Solve for x 5(x+4)=2x+20+2x
spayn [35]
Hey!
so first distribute the 5 to x + 4
5x+20 = 2x + 20 + 2x
combine 2x and 2x
5x+20 = 4x + 20
Now you want the constant and variable on different sides so subtract 4x to the other side
5x - 4x + 20 = 20
1x + 20 = 20
now subtract the 20 on the 1x + 20 side to the other side
1x = 0
divide by 1
0 divided by anything is 0
So x = 0
Hope this helps!
