Answer:
h = 19.6 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
A 20 ft ladder 4ft from the base of the wall.
The height of the ladder, H = 20 ft
The base distance, b = 4 ft
We need to find the height of the reach. Let it is P.
Using Pythagoras theorem,

or
P = 19.6 ft
So, the height is 19.6 ft.
I can’t see your choices, but this equation can be simplified to 5y + 5.
If you add the choices as a comment, I’m happy to help more.
To do these problems, you plug in the ‘n’ value given into the equation.
a. 6j - 3 : j = 4
6(4) - 3
24 - 3

b. 1/2b + 5 : b = 14
1/2(14) + 5
7 + 5
12
c. 8 + 4k : k = 3.5
8 + 4(3.5)
8 + 14

Answer:
2x + y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + y = 9 => y = -2x + 9
Parallel lines have the same slope so m = -2
Given (-1,6)
y = mx + b
6 = -2(-1) + b
6 = 2 + b
b = 4
so y = -2x + 4 or 2x + y = 4
