Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Ladder = 9ft[/tex]
[tex]Tallest\ Sunflower = x[/tex]
Required
How much taller is the tallest
To get this, we simply calculate the difference between the height of the tallest sunflower and the ladder.
i.e.
[tex]Difference = Tallest\ Sunflower - Ladder[/tex]
[tex]Difference = x - 9[/tex]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If for instance, the tallest is 13ft, then it is 4ft taller.
Because:
[tex]Difference = 13ft - 9ft[/tex]
[tex]Difference = 4ft[/tex]
