Let u = x², then we would have u² + 5u - 6 = 0
From here, we can factor it and get us (u-1)(u+6) = 0
So our solution for u is u = -6 or 1.
Now substitute u back to x².
x² = -6 or 1
x = ±√(-6) or ±√1
Since ±√(-6) is not real number, we ignore it.
Which leave us x = ±√1 = <span>±1
So our real solution is x = -1 or 1.</span>
Andrew can reach a maximum of 
high up the wall.
The right-angled triangle formed can be solved using the 
ratio. that is
where 
is the distance from the foot of the wall to the tip of the ladder where it rests on the wall. Substituting, and solving for , we get
Since Andrew can reach an extra 
above the point where the ladder rests against the wall, the maximum height Andrew can paint is
