A ladder (line segment AC in the diagram) is leaning against a wall. The distance between the foot of the ladder and the wall (B
C) is 7 meters less than the distance between the top of the ladder and the ground (AB). A-Create an equation that models the length of the ladder (l) in terms of x, which is the length in meters of AB. B-If the length of the ladder is 13 meters, use the equation you wrote to find the distance between the ground and the top of the ladder (AB).

Answer:
x=24
Step-by-step explanation:
The Quotient(dividing) of a number(x) and 6 minus(-) 3 IS(=) 1.
Which turns into:
- 3 = 1
We want to get x by itself so we divide the entire equation by 6.
6 ( - 3 = 1 )
x - 18 = 6
We want to move the plain numbers to one side so x can be by itself. So we add 18 to both sides.
x = 24
