Let x + 1.5 be length of segment above left hand
Let 2x be length of segment below left hand
15 = x + 1.5 + 2x
15 = 3x + 1.5
15 - 1.5 = 3x
13.5 = 3x
13.5/3= 3x/3
4.5 = x
x = 4.5
This is the length above the left hand.
2x must be then 4.5*2 = 9 foot
This is the length below the left hand.
Checking
4.5 + 9 + 1.5 = 15 foot
Adding length below left hand & length of left hand to right hand:
9 + 1.5 = 10.5
The right hand is hence 10.5 foot far up the pole.

Answer:
22-18-25,
19-24-30,
7-24-25
Step-by-step explanation:
In a triangle with side lengths 
, 
, and 
, any two sides must have a sum larger than the third.
Using this rule, the possible side lengths out of these choices that could form a triangle are:
22-18-25,
19-24-30,
7-24-25
Answer:
8.5x10^-5
Step-by-step explanation:
Move the decimal over between the 8 and the 5, it "hops" 5 times. Since it moved over right, make it negative
Answer:
<u>u ≤ -6</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Add 2 on both sides :
- 22 + 2 ≤ -4u - 2 + 2
- -4u ≥ 24
Divide both sides by -4 (remember the sign changes direction when divided by a negative number) :
- -4u/-4 ≥ 24/-4
- <u>u ≤ -6</u>
