Distribution is multiplying. So
6(12)-6(5)
72-30
42
Answer:
wait it is 325 of 3.25
Step-by-step explanation:
I can't tell if your asking for just one number, which would be 3.25...
Substitute
, so that
. Then the ODE is equivalent to

which is separable as

Split the left side into partial fractions,

so that integrating both sides is trivial and we get








Given the initial condition
, we find

so that the ODE has the particular solution,

so if 5.5 is in meter let change it to cm because the question want us to give the answer in cm.


now we multiply 5.5 times 100 which is equal to 550.
next we subtract 550 - 220= 330.
finally, the difference between a teacher and student is 330cm .meaning the teacher's desk is 330 cm longer or taller than the student.
