Answer:

The answer to your question is   Tree's height = 26.8 ft  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Person                         Tree

height = 6 ft                 height = x

shadow = 8.5 ft            shadow = 38 ft

Process

1.- Use the Thales' theorem to solve this problem

   Person's height/ Person's shadow = Tree´s height / Tree's shadow

Solve for Tree's height

   Tree's height = Person's height x Tree's shadow / Person's shadow

Substitution

   Tree's height = 6 x 38 / 8.5

Simplification

   Tree's height = 228 / 8.5

Result

    Tree's height = 26.8 ft

Complete the solution of the equation. Find the value of y when x equals -15. -x ‒ 8y = -1
valkas [14]
To complete the solution of - x - 8y = -1, we first need to substitute x for -15.
As so:

-(-15) - 8y = -1
15 - 8y = -1

Next, we can subtract 15 from each side to get:

15 - 15 - 8y = -1 - 15
- 8y = -16

Now, we can divide by -8 on each side to get the y by itself:

-8y / -8 = -16 / -8 
y = -16 / -8
y = 2

There we go! <em>y</em> = 2 when x = -15! Hope I could help you out! Have a good one.
