55>-7x + 6
Get -7x by itself
Subtract 6 from both sides
49>-7x
Divide by -7 (Remember to flip the inequality sign when dividing by negatives)
-7
Cross multiplication!

=

7 × 24 = 8x
168 = 8x
Divide both sides by 8 to isolate x

=

8 and 8 cancels out
21 = x
Answer:
Since it's a right angled triangle,

or, b = cos61.8
so, b = 3.9 feet
The bottom of the ladder is 3.9 feet away from the side of the house.
