Answer:

The lead statue is 87 inches tall

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the height of the lead statue

using proportion

we know that

The height of the  lead statue divided by the length of his shadow must be equal to the height of the tourist divided by the length of his shadow.

so

\frac{x}{43.5}=\frac{64}{32}\\\\\frac{x}{43.5}=2\\\\x=2(43.5)\\\\x=87\ in

vodomira [7]
X= weight of TV
y= weight of CD

3x+5y= 62.5
3x+ 2y= 52
You can either solve for a variable, or eliminate a variable by subtracting the second equation from the first:

3x + 5y = 62.5
-(3x+2y = 52)
0 + 3y = 10.5, so y = 10.5/3 or 3.5.

Now plug y= 3.5 back into any equation to get x:

3x + 5(3.5) = 62.5
3x + 17.5 = 62.5
3x = 45
x = 15
Always check work. Both equations should be true for x=15, y= 3.5
