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.
Answer:
I'll edit the answer, but what are the equations?
5x + 3 = 38
5x = 38 + 3
5x = 35
x = 35/5
x = 7
Answer: I'm not to sure about this question its kind of confusing.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x ≅ 5.44864209
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.
