A 5.ft tall man casts a shadow along the ground that is 8 ft. long. At the same time a giraffe casts a shadow that is 12 ft. lon
forsale [732]

Answer :  7.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

when the length of the shadow is 8ft, the actual height of the man = 5ft

8:5

let the giraffe be 'x' ft tall.

if the length of the shadow is 12ft, actual height = x ft

12:x

8:5 x 12:x

\frac{8}{5} × \frac{12}{x}

x= \frac{15}{2}

x=7.5 ft

Therefore, the giraffe is 7.5ft tall.

Find the value of x in each of the following<br>a) 5x/2+ 1 = 11<br>b) 2x/7 – 3 = 2​
laila [671]

Answer:

A) x=4

B) x=35/2

Step-by-step explanation:

calculate the product

A) 5x/2+1=11

multiply both sides of the equation by 2

5x+2=22

move the constant to the right hand side and change its sign

5x+22-2

now subtract the numbers

5x=20

now didvide both sides

5x=20

x=4

B)

calculate the product

2x/7-3=2

multiply both sides of the equation by 7

2x-21=14

move the constant to the right hand side and change its sign

2x=14+21

add the numbers

2x=35

now divide both sides of the equation by 2

x=35/2
