Set up and solve an equation of ratios.  Comparing shadow lengths, we get 100/6; comparing heights, we get x/8.  Set these two ratios equal to one another and solve the resulting equation for x:

100       x
----- = ------      Then 6x=800, and x = 800 feet^2 over 6 feet.  Your answer 
   6        8

must have the unit of measurement "ft."

How do you solve 5/8a-27=-7
Ber [7]
First of all you need to get rid of the -27 on the left side, to do so you add 27 to both sides so it becomes:
5/8a=20
Now you can divide it by 5 to get:
1/8a=4
Now multiply it by 8 to get:
a=32

Hope this helps :)
