Answer:

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a person who is 6 feet tall casts a 15-foot shadow.

Let the shadow of a 20-foot tree be x.

The height of an object varies directly with the length of its shadow, so

\frac{6}{15}=\frac{20}{x}

6x=20\times 15

6x=300

Divide both sides by 6.

x=50

The value of x is 50, therefore the shadow of a 20-foot tree is 50 feet long. Option B is correct.

What is the answer 2-2n=3n+17
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

n=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

2-2n=3n+17

Add 2n to each side

2-2n+2n=3n+2n+17

2 = 5n+17

Subtract 17 from each side

2-17 = 5n+17-17

-15 = 5n

Divide by 5

-15/5 = 5n/5

-3 =n
