Answer:

15 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 2 similar right triangles with legs height and length of shadows.

height of men : length of shadows of the man = height of tree : length of shadows of the tree

5 : 8 = x : 24

8x = 5* 24

x = 5*24/8 = 15 (feet)

MARKIN BRAINIEST!!! GIVIN 30PTS!!!
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

  • (-16x² +10x -3) +(4x² -29x -2)
  • (2x² -11x -9) -(14x² +8x -4)
  • 2(x -1) -3(4x² +7x +1)

Step-by-step explanation:

I find it takes less work if I can eliminate obviously wrong answers. Toward that end, we can consider the constant terms only:

  1. -3 +(-2) = -5 . . . . possible equivalent
  2. -10 -5 = -15 . . . . NOT equivalent
  3. 3(-5) -2(5) = -25 . . . . NOT equivalent
  4. -9 -(-4) = -5 . . . . possible equivalent
  5. -7 -(-5) = -2 . . . . NOT equivalent
  6. 2(-1) -3(1) = -5 . . possible equivalent

Now, we can go back and check the other terms in the candidate expressions we have identified.

  1. (-16x² +10x -3) +(4x² -29x -2) = (-16+4)x² +(10-29)x -5 = -12x² -19x -5 . . . OK

  4. (2x² -11x -9) -(14x² +8x -4) = (2-14)x² +(-11-8)x -5 = -12x² -19x -5 . . . OK

  6. 2(x -1) -3(4x² +7x +1) = -12x² +(2 -3·7)x -5 = -12x² -19x -5 . . . OK

All three of the "possible equivalent" expressions we identified on the first pass are fully equivalent to the target expression. These are your answer choices.

Hymie Caddiddle is a truck driver who earns $56,000 a year driving cross-country. He is single with no dependents. He pays $2,43
BARSIC [14]
In order to solve this problem, we need to figure out what percent 2,430 is of 56,000.  We do this by dividing 2,430 by 56,000.  This is equal to 0.04339.  We multiply this by 100 to get a percent.  This is equal to 4.339%, so the tax rate is 4.339%.
