Answer:

The length of the shadow of the second pole is 16.5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportional ratio (since the two poles stand side by side).

\frac{height}{shadow} =\frac{height}{shadow}

\frac{4}{11} =\frac{6}{x}

Cross multiply and solve for x (the shadow of the second pole):

4 · x = 11 · 6

4x = 66

x = 66 ÷ 4

x = 16.5 m

Explain the steps that are necessary to solve 4x - 2(x + 3) = x + 1
Sidana [21]
So you would distribute what's in the parenthesis and end up with 4x-2x-6=x+1, then you combine like terms and end up with 2x-6=x+1, now you can add 6 to both sides or subtract 1 both sides (basically anything goes for this step just make sure you apply the same thing on both sides) so I'll add 6 and continue just to show you... then you end up with 2x=x+7 then you subtract 1x on both sides to get x=7. sorry it's a lot hopefully you get it know!

What property justifies Step 3 in solving this equation?
Anna11 [10]
The answer is Division property of equality. This is because at Step 3, you have to divide to get your final answer. It cannot be the other ones because you do not subtract or distribute in step 3.
