Answer
14.4 ft~
Step-by-step explanation
A kite is flying 12 feet off the ground, therefore the height is 12 (assuming the line is tied to the ground if a person is holding the line then the height would be less)
Assuming the sun is positioned in such a way that the shadow represents a horizontal distance. Horizontal distance of shadow = 8
Use Pythagoras Theorem
Where a^2 + b^2 = c^2
8^2 + 12^2 = 208
Square root 208 = 14.4~

The information from the first equation gives you the information needed for the second. To solve the first equation you must rearrange the equation to isolate X. In order to do that you can first move the 3 to the other side of the equation by subtracting it from both sides (5x + 3 - 3 = 4 - 3) and then simplify that to (5x = 4 - 3) and further to (5x = 1). Then to move the 5 you must divide both sides by 5 so you get (5x/5 = 1/5) which can be simplified to (x = 1/5)
From this you can use the X value and input it into the second equation
Y = -3(1/5) and then solve for Y.
Hope this helps!

Answer:
16 people
Step-by-step explanation:
First subtract the cost of the rental from the amount of money:
$400-$150 = $250
Therefore Tia has $250 to spend for additional people. Then if each person is $15, divide the remaining amount of money by the amount of money per person:
$250/$15 = 16.67
Since you can't have 0.67 of a person she can have 16 people go with her.
This can also be modeled by this inequality:
