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)

What is the solution to the equation x/2-4=6​
-Dominant- [34]

<u>Answer</u>

x = 20

<u>Explanation</u>

Multiply the entire equation by 2 to get rid of the fraction.

x/2 * 2 = x

-4 * 2 = -8

6 * 2 = 12

Now, we have:

x - 8 = 12

To complete, add 8 to both sides

x = 20
