All you have to do it <span>Identify the legs and the hypotenuse of the triangle. You know that the triangle is a right triangle since the ground and the raised portion of the porch are perpendicular—this means you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this problem. Identify a, </span>b<span>, and c. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the </span>length<span> of c.</span>
<span>Equation A: 4c = d − 8
</span><span>Equation B: c = 5d + 8
</span>
Multiply Equation A by -5:
Equation A: - 20c = -5d + 40
Equation (1) + (2) :
-19c = 48
Answer: <span>B. Multiply equation A by -5</span>
