The flag pole is 20 feet tall with an 8 foot shadow.

The tree is X feet tall with a 12 foot shadow.

20/8 = X/12

Cross multiply:

20 * 12 / 8*X

240 = 8x

Divide both sides by 8:

x = 240/8

x = 30

The tree is 30 feet tall.

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

c + 3d = 14.75

2c + 5d = 26

A box of candy is $4.25 and a drink is $3.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the cost of a box of candy and let d represent the cost of a drink

c + 3d = 14.75

2c + 5d = 26

Solve by elimination by multiplying the top equation by -2

-2c - 6d = -29.5

2c + 5d = 26

Add them together

-d = -3.5

d = 3.5

Plug in 3.5 as d into one of the equations to solve for c

c + 3d = 14.75

c + 3(3.5) = 14.75

c + 10.5 = 14.75

c = 4.25

So, a box of candy is $4.25 and a drink is $3.50

2/3xd=10/9 what is d
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:d=5/3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for d.

(2/3x)(d)=10/9

Step 1: Divide both sides by (2x)/3.

2/3dx / 2x/3=10/9 / 2x/3

d=5/3x
