We need some sort of diagram to see what they are. Is there any way to say that ac = db? Either equal angles or equal lines. 
x + 3 = 3x - 19 Add 19
x + 3 + 19 = 3x Subtract x
21 = 2x
x = 21 / 2
x = 10.5

ac = 10.5 + 3
x = 13.5

A vertical pole 5 feet long casts a shadow of 2 feet.if at the same time a nearby tree casts a shadow of 10 feet, how tall is th
ohaa [14]
We use the proportion for this case the pole and the tree with their shadows has the same shape forming a right triangle.
We use the ratio of the two triangles and equate them as

h1/s1 = h2/s2

where
h1 and s1 are the height and the length of a shadow of the pole,
and the other h2 and s2 are for the tree

Identify all the given values.
5 ft / 2 ft = (h2) / 10 ft
h2 = 25 ft
Therefore the height of the tree "h2" is 25 ft.

Find an equation of a line passing through the point (8,9) and parallel to the line joining the points (2,7) and (1,5).
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

2x - y - 7 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the slope of parallel line are same.

So, we can easily use formula,

y - y₁ = m ( x ₋ x₁)

where, (x₁, y₁) = (8, 9)

and m is a slope of line passing through (x₁, y₁).

and since the slope of parallel lines are same, so here we use slope of parallel line for calculation.

and, Slope = m = \dfrac{y_{b}-y_{a}}{x_{b}-x_{a}}

here, (xₐ, yₐ) = (2, 7)

and, (y_{a},y_{b}) = (1, 5 )

⇒ m = \dfrac{5-7}{1-2}

⇒ m = 2

Putting all values above formula. We get,

y - 9 = 2 ( x ₋ 8)

⇒ y - 9 = 2x - 16

⇒ 2x - y - 7 = 0

which is required equation.

We are given that Evan takes  hours to mow Mr. Gals lawn and  hours to mow Mrs. Lee's lawn

This means that:

Time taken to mow the two lawns =  hours

Now, we are given that the time taken to mow the three lawns is  hours

This means that:

Time taken to mow the third lawn =  hours

Hope this helps :)

A tour bus starts from Memphis and heads to Miami at 50 mph. Three hours later a truck pursues the bus at a speed of 65 mph. How
Nina [5.8K]
Three hours after the bus starts out, it's 150 miles ahead of the truck. Then the truck starts out, and it gains (65-50)=15 miles on the bus every hour. If neither of them ever stops for anything, the truck will catch up to the bus in ( 150/15 ) = 10 hours. . . . (The hint is useless.)
