Answer:
The ladder reaches a height of 6 m.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Height of the ladder, H = 6.5 m
The foot of the ladder is 2.5 m from the foot of the wall.
We need to find the height does the ladder reach. If we consider a triangle in which hypotenuse is 6.5 m, foot of the ladder is 2.5 m then we need to find the height of the ladder i.e.
The ladder reaches a height of 6 m.
Addition or something else i think 11x 5
what do you mean please explain better?
The equation given in the question has one unknown variable in the form of "x" and only one equation is required to find the value of the unknown variable. So it is absolutely possible to find the exact value of "x".
6(-3 - x) - 2x = 14
-18 - 6x - 2x = 14
-18 - 8x = 14
Multiplying both sides of the equation by -1 we get
8x + 18 = - 14
Dividing both sides by 2 we get
4x + 9 = - 7
4x = - 7 - 9
4x = - 16
x = - 16/4
= - 4
So the value of "x" comes out to be equal to - 4. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
