Answer: 5k +7
Step-by-step explanation: -2k + -7k + 5k is -4K and 2+3=5 -4K +5 and 6k +3k= 9k + 2 then u do -4K plus 9k and get 5k next, 5+2
Step 1
<u>First situation</u>
when a ladder is leaning against a wall
Let
x-------> the distance of the bottom of the ladder from the wall
L-------> the length of the ladder
<u>Find the length of the ladder</u>
Applying the Pythagorean Theorem
------> equation 
Step 2
<u>Second situation</u>
when the ladder will be lying flat on the ground
<u>Find the length of the ladder</u>
In this situation the length of the ladder is equal to

square both sides
------> equation 
Step 3
equate equation
and equation 

therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
the length of the ladder is
