Set it up as a ratio:
mans shadow over mans height (4/6 ) equals flag pole shadow over flag pole height (15/x)

set them to equal each other:

4/6 = 15/x

cross multiply: 4*x =4x, 15*6 = 90

so you have 4x = 90

now divide both sides by 5 to solve for x, which is the height of the flag pole:

x = 90 / 4 = 22.5 feet tall

The red one is (4.1) and the green one is (-2.4) because is positive to negative so the positive side is that you got and the negative part is you owe someone for example: -20 < 30 so if it says Emily goes to the store and the milk costs $30.99 and she only has $10.00 that means that she owes $30.00 so is -10 <30
