The stalactites become 0.004 + 0.006 = 0.01 inches closer each year, and begin 10 feet apart, or 120 inches apart. 

let y be the distance between them, and x be the number of years that go by:
y = -0.01x + 120

We want to find where y = 0, where they meet:
0 = -0.01x + 120        Add 0.01x to both sides
0.01x = 120               Multiply both sides by 100
x = 12,000 

The stalagmite and stalactite will meet in 12,000 years

What is 2/9 = 4/x+8 i dont get this fraction solving
Dmitriy789 [7]

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

\frac{2}{9}  =  \frac{4}{x + 8}  \\

\frac{4}{x + 8}  =  \frac{2}{9}  \\

Inverse both sides

\frac{x + 8}{4}  =  \frac{9}{2}  \\

Multiply sides by 4

4 \times  \frac{x + 8}{4}  = 4 \times  \frac{9}{2}  \\

x + 8 = 2 \times 9

x + 8 = 18

Subtract sides 8

x + 8 - 8 = 18 - 8

x = 10

Done...
