<h3>
Answer: £66</h3>
Your teacher may want you to leave off the pounds sign.
==========================================================
Explanation:
x = amount Bill gets
3x = amount Sam gets, because he gets three times as much
x+3x = 4x = total amount of money
4x = 88
x = 88/4
x = 22
Bill gets £22
3x = 3*22 = 66
Sam gets £66
Note that 22+66 = 88 to help confirm the answer.

This seems like a right triangle problem.
So assuming 14 feet is the hypotenuse and 4 feet is a leg of the right triangle, we can use the pythagorean theorem (
) to solve for the height of the house, in which we shall name it x.
So, the equation is 
.
Solve for x:
16+x^{2}= 196
x^{2}= 196-16
x^{2}= 180
x = 6√5 feet
Hope this helps!
