Answer: x = -1/2y + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

12x + 6y = 24 To solve for x first start by subtracting 6y from both sides

- 6y -6y

12x = 24 - 6y Now divide each side by 12

x= 2 - 1/2y

X=1.5 What you want to start with is isolating the x variable. To do that you want to get the 6y on the other side of the equal sign so you subtract 6y and so your equation should look like this 12x=-6y+24. Now you need to get x by itself so you need to divide the -6y+24 by 12 to get the x by itself. That then gets you -.5+2=x so the final answer would be x=1.5

Answer

Find out the how high up the wall does the ladder reach .

To proof

let us assume that the height of the wall be x .

As given

A 25-foot long ladder is propped against a wall at an angle of 18° .

as shown in the diagram given below

By using the trignometric identity

$cos\theta = \frac{Base}{Hypotenuse}$

now

$\theta = 18^{\circ}$

Base = wall height = x

Hypotenuse = 25 foot

Put in the trignometric identity

$cos18^{\circ} = \frac{x}{25}$

$cos18^{\circ} = \bar{0.9510565162}$

x = 23.8 foot ( approx)

Therefore the height of the ladder be 23.8 foot ( approx) .

Answer:

$\large\boxed{4x+6y^3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2x+x+x+2y\times3y\times y\\\\=(2x+x+x)+(2y\times3y\times y)\\\\=4x+(2\times3)(y\times y\times y)\\\\=4x+6y^3$
