The drawing shows the rock height to be 64 ft.

The shadow lengths are proportional to the object heights, so we have
   (rock height)/(209.5 ft) = (5.5 ft)/(18 ft)
   (rock height) = (209.5 ft)*(5.5/18) ≈ 64.01 ft

The height of the rock from the ground is about 64 ft.

3y/4+10=2y/4 Simplify
3y/4+10=1y/2
10=-1y 
I really simplified the last part but this is what it looks like:  \frac{2y}{4}- \frac{3y}{4} = -1y
10=-1y
y=-10
