Answer:
use factoring x (see attachment)
-8 x 7 = -56
-8 + 7 = -1
(x - 8)(x + 7) = 0
x = 8, -7
hope this helps :)
The problem presented above is an example in which we can use the concept of ratio and proportion. The ratio between the heights of Mei and the statue should be the same to the ratio of their shadows. Letting x be the height of the statue.
5 ft/ x ft = 3 ft / 10.5 ft
The value of x from the equation above is 17.5 ft.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
it's pretty self explanatory, right?
Answer:
Lien: $26300 Her husband: $24700
Step-by-step explanation:
x+(x+1600)=51000
2x+1600=51000
2x=49400
x=24700
Her husband earned 24700
24700+1600=26300
Lien earned 26300
Let us assume the number of cars parked after which John will start earning more than his fixed weekly salary = x
The fixed weekly salary of John = $300
The fee that John gets for parking each car = $5
Then we can get the equation as
5x = 300
x = 300/5
= 60
So from the above deduction we can see that John will earn the equal amount of his weekly pay after he parks 60 cars. Then it becomes obvious that parking car number 61, John will start earning more than what he gets as his fixed weekly salary. I hope you have understood the described method.
