A carpenter working on a very tall house stood on the middle step of a long ladder. To install a window, he went up 4 steps. To get a tool, he went down 6 steps. Then he went up 7 steps to work on the window again. Then he went up 7 more steps to work on the next level. Finally, he went up the 7 remaining steps to the top of the ladder, and stood on the roof of the house. How many steps does the ladder have?

Letter b hope it

Answer: the correct answer is 10step-by-step explanation: let the number be n, then the expression becomes,then“twelve more than the quotient of a number and two, decreased by four” iswhen n=4,we substitute 4 whetever we see n to get,we simplify to obtain,we further simplify to get,therefore the correct answer is c.

Okay so n is going to represent our first number. since the second number of five times greater than n, the second number will be represented as 5n. for us to figure out the two  numbers we need to have  the value of n first. this is going to be done by adding the two numbers together, n and 5n. it can be simplified as 6n, which the problem states is equal to 72. divide 72 by 6n and you can solve for n.  n+5n=726n=72n=(72/6)n=12  now that we know the value of n, we have to multiply 5 times 12 which equals 60. so our two numbers/integers are 12 and 60
