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:
h = 12.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
h + 3h + 4h = 100
Combine like terms: h + 3h = 4h
4h + 4h = 100
Combine like terms: 4h + 4h = 8h
8h = 100
Solving
8h = 100
Solving for variable 'h'.
Move all terms containing h to the left, all other terms to the right.
Divide each side by '8'.
h = 12.5
Simplifying
h = 12.5
