There are 19 rungs in the ladder.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Kathy climbed 2 rungs (+2), moved down 3 rungs (-3), climbed up 7 rungs (+7) and climbed up 3 more rungs (+3), the total rungs she climbed up was

2 - 3 + 7 + 3 = 9

She was standing on the middle rung of the ladder so now we know that she had another 9 rungs below her and the total amount of rungs are:

Rungs below here + rung she was standing on + rungs above her

9 + 1 + 9 = 19

The ladder has 19 rungs.
