Mark Brainliest please

Answer: not reasonable

Explanation

Let 'x' represent the distance between the posters and the distance from the posters to the nearest edge of the wall.

1 ft = 12 in

11 ft = 11*12 in

14 ft = 132 in

Now we can write the following equation:

6x + 2*36 = 132 + 3
6x + 72 = 135

X = 10.5 in

he poster should be placed 10.5 inches from the edge of the wall.

Your brother is not reasonable .
