Answer:
The step 4 is not what he should have done. But the wrong is step 5, because if he added -2x both sides, it would give the following equation:
and not
Note that in step 4 he should have added 2x and not -2x to both sides, but we still have the equality. The problem is that step 5 is totally wrong.
I don't know what answer is expected to this question, but I would mark step 5, because this is mathematically wrong.
Solving the equation
Using distribution
Add both sides
Add 12 both sides
Divide both sides by 5

Answer:
The number of cookies in the jar is 7.
If we include the 5 cookies from the tray in the jar the total number of cookies would be 5 + 7 = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Consider the number of cookies in the jar as 'x'. Hence the equation formed would be:-</em>
7(x) + 5 = 54
7x + 5 = 54
7x = 54 - 5
7x = 49
x =
x = 7
The number of cookies in the jar is 7.
If we include the 5 cookies from the tray in the jar the total number of cookies would be 5 + 7 = 12

We are going to solve your problem by using the pythagorean theorem, a^2+b^2 = c^2, where a and b are the legs of the triangle, and c is the hypotenuse (the longest side).
The length of the ladder is equal to 70ft (hypotenuse); one leg is the distance between the wall and the bottom of the ladder - 40 ft, the other leg is unknown for it is the distance between 10 ft above the ground and the top of the ladder-represented by "x". Using pythagorean theorem, a^2+b^=c^2, we have x^2+40^2 = 70^2. Solving the exponents, we have x^2 + 1600 = 4900.
Isolating the variable x, we have x^2 = 4900-1600. Futher simplying, x^2 = 3300. Thus, x = √3300 or 57.4456264654 ft.
Adding 10 ft to x, therefore, the top of the leadder is 67.4456264654 ft off the ground.
