Mick is building a slide for a new park. He wants the height of the slide to be 4 feet, and he wants the horizontal distance along the ground to measure 12 feet. After building the slide, Mick decides the slide needs a vertical safety support and wants to use a 2-foot piece of wood to build the support. How far from the point where the base of the slide meets the ground should Mick place the vertical support?

idk sry

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!

could you provide figure.
