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

Aleksandr [31]
Malik earned $243.

When he bought the tires, he spent $90 ($45x2), and he sold them for $130 ($65x2). So his profit was $40 ($130-$90).

He bought three rims for $225 ($85x3) and sold them all for $378 ($126x3). His profit was $153 ($378-$225).

The headlight covers cost him $25 in total ($5x5). He sold them all and got $75 ($15x5). The profit was $50 ($75-$25).

The total amount of money made was $243 ($40+$153+$50).

Grayson charges $35 per hour plus a $35 administration fee for tax preparation. Ian charges $45 per hour plus a $15 administrati
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

h less-than 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

h ---> the number of hours

y ---> the total charge in dollars

we know that

The linear equation is slope intercept form is equal to

y=mh+b

where

m is the slope or unit rate of the linear equation

b is the y-intercept or initial value of the linear equation

we have

<em>Grayson</em>

The slope is equal to m=\$35\ per\ hour

The y-intercept is b=\$35

so

The total charge is equal to

y=35h+35 ----> equation A

<em>Ian</em>

The slope is equal to m=\$45\ per\ hour

The y-intercept is b=\$15

so

The total charge is equal to

y=45h+15 ----> equation B

For what number of hours does Grayson charge more than Ian?

The inequality that represent this situation is

35h+35 > 45h+15

solve for x

Group terms

35-15 > 45h-35h

20 > 10h

Divide by 10 both sides

2 > h

Rewrite the expression

h< 2\ hours ----> h less than 2 hours
