Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Given


Ladder = 9ft


Tallest\ Sunflower = x

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.


Difference = Tallest\ Sunflower - Ladder


Difference = x - 9

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If for instance, the tallest is 13ft, then it is 4ft taller.

Because:


Difference = 13ft - 9ft


Difference = 4ft
