Question

I don’t understand:( can someone break down the steps I have to do

Answer 1

Answer:

x=10ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey,

Since, the total height is 26, you add up the individual heights listed on the sides because they have to add up to 26.

So,

x+x+6=26 (From here it is basic algebra where you solve for x)

2x+6=26 (add the two x variables together)

2x=26-6 (subtract the 6)

2x=20 (divide by 2)

x=10 ft

The answer makes sense too because the line segments are larger than the segment 6 which was given.
