3x-4=5x-10
Subtract 3x from both sides
-4=2x-10
Add 10 to both sides
6= 2x
X= 3
3 times 3-4
AB=5
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.
Eleven over 20. It's eleven over 20. They said my answer needs to be more than 20 characters is why I'm continuing writing
