You are correct!

Step 1:Write what you know
Madeline's Height: 6 ftMadeline's Shadow: 108 in
Friend's Height: X (we use X as a variable because his height is unknown)Friend's Shadow: 108 in - 1.5 ft                              108 in - 18 in                                 90 in
Step 2:Set up proportions
6          x----- = -----108      90 
Step 3:Cross Multiply & Solve
108x = 540x = 5 ft tall

Pitcher 1/3 gallon = 4/12 gallon

Jug 3/4 = 9/12 gallon

So, it will take 2 pitchers plus 1/12 of a gallon to fill the jug.

What is the measure of angle TMS? Pls explain your answer and I will mark brainliest!
Rudik [331]

Answer:

38 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

If the line is tangent that means it forms a 90 degree angle. The angle measure of the inside of a triangle is equal to 180 degrees. If you add 52 and 90 you get 142. Subtract this amount from 180 and you will get the measure of m TMS

Solve the system: <br> 2/x - 3/y =-5; 4/x + 6\y =14
sertanlavr [38]

The solution is x = 2 \text{ and } y = \frac{1}{2}

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let us assume,

a = \frac{1}{x}\\\\b = \frac{1}{y}

<em><u>Given system of equations are:</u></em>

\frac{2}{x} - \frac{3}{y} = -5

\frac{4}{x} + \frac{6}{y} = 14

<em><u>Rewrite the equation using "a" and "b"</u></em>

2a - 3b = -5 ------------ eqn 1

4a + 6b = 14 -------------- eqn 2

<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2</u></em>

<em><u>Multiply eqn 1 by 2</u></em>

2(2a - 3b = -5)

4a - 6b = -10 ------------- eqn 3

<em><u>Add eqn 2 and eqn 3</u></em>

4a + 6b = 14

4a - 6b = -10

( - ) --------------------

8a = 4

a = \frac{4}{8}\\\\a = \frac{1}{2}

Substitute a = 1/2 in eqn 1

2(\frac{1}{2}) -3b = -5\\\\1 - 3b = -5\\\\3b = 6\\\\b = 2

Now let us go back to our assumed values

Substitute a = 1/2 in assumed values

a = \frac{1}{x}\\\\\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{x}\\\\x = 2

Substitute b = 2 in assumed value

b = \frac{1}{y}\\\\2 = \frac{1}{y}\\\\y = \frac{1}{2}

Thus the solution is x = 2 \text{ and } y = \frac{1}{2}
