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)

SashulF [63]

Answer:

2(2n - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the number of books Theo has read

Then 4x = four times the number of books Theo has read.

And 4n - 2 = 2 less than four times the number of books Theo has read

But 4n -2 = the number of books Maya has read

Factor the expression

4n - 2 = 2(2n - 1)

The factored expression is 2(2n - 1).
