Shadow of the flagpole=23.5f
Sf=23.5
shadow of gilbert=7.5f
Sg=7.5
height of gilbert=5.5f
hg=5.5
Sf/hf=Sg/hg
23.5/hf=7.5/5.5
23.5*5.5/7.5=hf
(47/2*11/2)/7.5=hf
(517/4)/(30/4)=hf
(517*4)/(4*30)=hf
517/30=hf
17+7/30=hf
17.233.. feet=height of flagpole

Yuliya22 [10]
Let x and y be the rate per hour for Mechanic 1 and 2 respectively.

Then,
x+y=205 ---------- (1)
Additionally,
10x+15y = 2500 ------ (2)

Solving equations 1 and 2;
Multiply (1) by 10 and subtract two from the result,
10x+10y = 2050
10x +15 y =2500
----------------------
        -5 y = --450 => y = 450/5 = $90
Then,
x= 205-90 = $115

Therefore,
Mechanic 1 charged $115 per hour
Mechanic 2 charged $90 per hour

Find x so that (x,-14) is a solution to 2x+3y=12
Monica [59]

Answer:

27

Question:

Find x so that (x,-14) is a solution to 2x+3y=12 .

Step-by-step explanation:

So we are asked to replace y with -14 and solve for x in the equation:

2x+3y=12.

2x+3y=12 with y=-14:

2x+3(-14)=12

2x-42=12

Add 42 on both sides:

2x=54

Divide both sides by 2:

x=27.

So the x-coordinate that corresponding to y=-14 is 27.

Verify that:

(27,-14) is a point satisfying 2x+3y=12.

Replace x with 27 and y with -14:

2(27)+3(-14)=12

54+-42=12

12=12 is true so our work must be right.
