Solving for 'y'
2x - 2y + 5 = 0
Add 2y on both sides
2x + 5 = 2y
Divide by 2 on both sides
y = x + 5/2
y = x + 2.5
Solving for 'x'
2x - 2y + 5 = 0
Subtract 2x on both sides.
-2y + 5 = -2x
Divide 2x on both sides
x = y - 5/2
x = y - 2.5
According to the rule of similar polygons the ratio of corresponding sides of two polygons will be the same. So in this case the ratio of original length and shadow of a stick and ratio of length of flagpole and its shadow will be the same.
Length of Stick = 5 feet
Shadow of Stick = 8 feet
Shadow of flagpole = 32 feet
Length of flagpole = x = ?
Using rule of similar polygon we can write,

Therefore, the length of flagpole will be 20 feet.
