Answer:

6x - 11 feet

Explanation:

Dale is standing (2x + 7) feet height from the base of the tower.

And the tower is given to be (8x - 4)feet tall.

We have to find the distance between Dale and the top of the tower.

Now, the distance between dale and the top of the tower = height of the tower - height of Dale = (8x - 4) - (2x + 7) = (6x - 11) feet. (Answer)
