Answer:

The shadow of the building = 192 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ There is a proportional relation between the heights of the tree and the building and their shadows

∴ Height tree/height building = shadow tree/shadow building

\frac{5}{80}=\frac{12}{x}

x = \frac{(80)(12)}{5}= 192 ft ⇒ x is the length of the shadow of the building

Solve: 3n - 6 = -8(6 +5n)<br> and explain how to solve it
hjlf

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First use distributive property: a(b + c) = a*b + a*c

3n - 6 = -8(6 + 5n)

3n - 6 = 6 * (-8) + 5n *(-8)

3n - 6 = -48 - 40n

Now add 40n to both sides

3n - 6 + 40n = -48 - 40n + 40n

43n - 6 = -48

Now add 6 to both sides

43n - 6 + 6 = -48 + 6

           43n = -42

               n = -42 /43

MAVERICK [17]
The answer for either field being harvested is 6.25 days (acres/(rate of harvest))
The answer is probably seven because, even though a day can be divided into parts, the fields are done the seventh not the sixth. (I'm assuming the problem calls for whole days)
