Answer:

The answer to your question is: the three is 21 ft tall

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Thales's theorem to solve this exercise

Data

light post height = 9 ft

shadow of the light post = 6 ft

tree shadow = 14 ft

height of the three = x

        Proportions                

                                    x /  9 = 14 / 6

Solve for x                  x = 14(9) / 6

                                   x = 21 ft

Solve the following system of equations by substation.
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

C. (-1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Label the 2 equations:

5y= 7x +22 -----(1)

x= -6y +17 -----(2)

Substitute (2) into (1):

5y= 7(-6y +17) +22

5y= -42y +119 +22 <em>(</em><em>Expand</em><em> </em><em>bracket</em><em>)</em>

5y= -42y +141 <em>(</em><em>Simplify</em><em>)</em>

42y +5y= 141 <em>(</em><em>+</em><em>42y</em><em> </em><em>on</em><em> </em><em>both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em>)</em>

47y= 141

y= 141 ÷47 <em>(</em><em>÷</em><em>4</em><em>7</em><em> </em><em>on</em><em> </em><em>both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em>)</em>

y= 3

Substitute y= 3 into (2):

x= -6(3) +17

x= -18 +17

x= -1

Thus, the solution is (-1, 3).
