Step-by-step explanation:
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.
Well you can start by drawing a triangle with the information
the size of angle B can be found using the Law of Sine

the size of angle C can be found using angle sum of a triangle.
The length of side c can be found using the Law of Cosines

How to find the x intercept of 3y=2x-6: (when y is 0)
3(0) = 2x - 6
0 = 2x - 6
+6 + 6

2 2
x = 3
How to find the y intercept of 3y=2x-6: (when x is 0)
3y = 2(0) - 6
y = 0 - 6
3y = -6
