sally's cat is stuck in a tree 18ft off the ground. The base of a ladder is placed 6 feet away from the base of the tree. what is the minimum length needed to reach the cat (rounded to the nearest foot)?

no, the equation would be invalid since they are both not equal.

step-by-step explanation:

here you got

4y-6+4y 2-9

first, you would simplify the equation on the form.

4y-6+4y 2-9

then, move all the terms that contains a y to the left and all the other terms to the right.

+4y-4y+-9-6

finally, you will simplify the left and the right side of the equation.

y=-3
