The ratio of the height (h) of the streetlight to its distance to the end of Laura's shadow is the same as the ratio of Laura's height to her distance from the end of her shadow.
.. h/(12+9) = 5'4"/9
.. h = (21/9)*5'4" = 12 4/9 feet
.. h = 12 ft 5 1/3 inches

The streetlight is 12 ft 5 1/3 inches tall.

The sales of a certain product after an initial release can be found by the equation s=16√7t+62 where s represents the total num
Aleonysh [2.5K]
You want to replace the s with 150 in the equation and then just solve for t.
150=16√7t +62    subtract 62 from both sides
88=16√7t              divide both sides by 16
5.5=√7t                to get rid of the square root  square both sides. 
30.25=7t              now divide both sides by 7
4.3 = t (approximately) 
so at 4 weeks they will have sold 150 units.

Add the two equations, 0.75x+1.5y=40 and −1.5x−1.5y=−60 , to find the value of x .
sergij07 [2.7K]

The value of x in the equation is 26.7

<h3>How to solve an equation?</h3>

0.75x + 1.5y = 40

−1.5x − 1.5y = −60

add both equation to eliminate y .

Therefore,

−1.5x + 0.75x = -0.75x

1.5y + (- 1.5y) = 0

40 + (-60) = -20

Hence,

-0.75x  = - 20

divide both sides by -0.75

-0.75x / -0/75 = - 20 / -0.75

x = - 20 / -0.75

x = 26.6666666667

x = 26.7
