1 foot = 12 inches
Height of Jacob = 5 feet 6 inches = 5 *12 + 6 = 66 inches
Jacob's <span>shadow = 3 feet = 36 inches

</span>giraffe's shadow = <span>5 feet 9 inches = 5 * 12 + 9 = 69 inches

</span><span>by the ratio and proportion

∴ </span>Height of Jacob/Jacob's shadow = Height of giraffe/giraffe's shadow

∴ 66/36 = Height of giraffe/69

∴ Height of giraffe = 69 * 66/36 = 126.5 inches = 10 feet 6.5 inches

A game stop membership cost $20 and includes one game A month for five dollars. Nonmembers can get one more game a month for sev
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

C(x) = 5x + 20 (for members)

C(x) = 3.5x (for non-members)

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of membership = $20

Price of a game per month = $5

So, the linear equation to compute the total cost for a member can be computed by:

C(x) = 5x + 20

where x is the number of games per month

On the other hand, non-members can get one more game per month for $7 which means they get 2 games for $7. The price for a single game is $7/2 = $3.5 a month.

The linear equation to compute the total cost for a non-member is:

C(x) = 3.5x

where x is the number of games per month.

The following system of equations can be used to decide whether to become a member or not, by substituting the number of games in place of x and finding out the total cost.

C(x) = 5x + 20 (for members)

C(x) = 3.5x (for non-members)
