we have that

Applying proportion

x/9=5.5/3

solve for x

x=9*(5.5/3)

x=16.5 ft

therefore

<h2>the answer is 16.5 ft</h2>

Solve using substitution method x-y=11;3x+10y=-6<br> explain please
Tatiana [17]
Ok so for starters you want to choose an equation and solve for a variable.
So, I am going to choose x from the first equation.
Add y to both sides and you get x=11+y
Next, substitute 11+y for x in the other equation so you get...
2(11+y) +10y=-6
Next distribute the 2 throug the 11 and the y
22+2y+10y=-6
12y=-28
y=-28/12
reduce this fraction to make this easier.
y=-7/3
Now plug in why to either of the equations to find x
x-(-7/3)=11
x+7/3=11
x=11-(7/3)
x=(33/3)-(7/3)
x=26/3
so x = 26/3 and y = -7/3
you can also check to see if this is correct by substituting each of these values into the equations.

Follow the process of completing the square to solve 2x2 + 8x - 12 = 0.
Rom4ik [11]
Please:  Use "^" to denote exponentiation:  <span>2x^2 + 8x - 12 = 0

Reduce this by div. every term by 2:             </span><span>x^2 + 4x - 6 = 0

Here a=1, b=4 and c = -6.  Square half of b, obtaining (4/2)^2 = 4, and add, and then subtract, this 4 to x^2 + 4x - 6:

</span> x^2 + 4x +4  - 4 - 6 = 0.  Rewrite the square as (x+2)^2, obtaining new equation

(x+2)^2 = 10.  Take the sqrt of both sides:   x+2 = plus or minus sqrt(10).

Finally, solve for x:  x = -2 plus or minus sqrt(10).
