14 feet statue casts 7 ft shadow.

That's exactly HALF.

This is the proportionality, half.

Similarly,

A 6 ft man will cast a shadow that is HALF his height.

So,

6/2 = 3 feet

The correct answer is 3 feet (shadow)

How do you solve (7x + 5) - (3x + 2)
Korolek [52]

Answer:

x = 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

(7x + -5) + -1(3x + -2) = 0

Reorder the terms:

(-5 + 7x) + -1(3x + -2) = 0

Remove parenthesis around (-5 + 7x)

-5 + 7x + -1(3x + -2) = 0

Reorder the terms:

-5 + 7x + -1(-2 + 3x) = 0

-5 + 7x + (-2 * -1 + 3x * -1) = 0

-5 + 7x + (2 + -3x) = 0

Reorder the terms:

-5 + 2 + 7x + -3x = 0

Combine like terms: -5 + 2 = -3

-3 + 7x + -3x = 0

Combine like terms: 7x + -3x = 4x

-3 + 4x = 0

Solving

-3 + 4x = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '3' to each side of the equation.

-3 + 3 + 4x = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0

0 + 4x = 0 + 3

4x = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: 0 + 3 = 3

4x = 3

Divide each side by '4'.

x = 0.75

Simplifying

x = 0.75

What’s the answer for the problems 11-15 in the picture
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

11.

A) EZ Pay Plan=0.15x

B) 40 to Go Plan=0.05x+40

12.

0.15x=0.05x+40

13.

x=400 minutes

14. The solution is the amount of minutes that it takes for both plans to cost the same amount. X has one solution, so it accounts for both equations.

15. EZ Pay Plan

Step-by-step explanation:

For 11, what you need to know is that the slope (coefficient of x) is the price per minute. 0.15 per minute and 0.05 per minute are charged, and therefore are the slope for those equations. The 40 on B is because it is the y intercept. No matter how long you use the object, you will always pay at least 40 dollars.

For 12, you have to find x for the minutes used.

For 13, if you do the process algebraically,

0.15x=0.05x+40  

0.10x=40     (subtracted 0.05x from both sides)

x=400       (divided 0.10x and 40 by 0.10)

For 14, (no explanation)

For 15, if you substitute 200 as x, you would see that the EZ Pay Plan would make you pay 30 dollars while the 40 To Go Plan would make you pay 10+40 dollars, which 30<50.

(sorry for late response)
