<span> 3/4 y = 24
y = 24 x 4/3
y = 32
answer </span><span>y = 32 (B)(second choice)</span>
16x - 4 + 58 + 9x - 6 = 180
25x + 48 = 180
25x = 132
x = 5.28
Ask which two numbers add up to -11 and multiply to 30?
That would be; -6 and -5
Rewrite the expression using what you have above;
<u>(x - 6)(x - 5)</u>
In short, let x be the height of the Light House
2.5/36 = 1.5/X
===> X= (36 x 1.5)/2.5 = 21.6 meters
