Answer:
16 for both
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the height of Joe which is 1.6 meters, the length of his shadow is 2 meters when he stands 3 meters from the base of the floodlight.
First, we have to illustrate the problem. Then we can observe two right triangles formed, one is using Joe and the length of the shadow, the other is the floodlight and the sum of the distance from the base plus the length of the shadow. To determine the height of the floodlight, use ratio and proportion:
1.6 / 2 = x / (2 +3)
where x is the height of the flood light
solve for x, x = 4. Therefore, the height of the floodlight is 4 meters.
➻ In a group of 40 people, 27 can speak English and 25 can speak Spanish.
➻ The required number of people who can speak both English and Spanish .
<u>Consider</u> ,
➻ A → Set of people who speak English.
➻ B → Set of people who speak Spanish
➻ A∩B → Set of people who can speak both English and Spanish
➻ n(A∪B) = n(A) + n (B) - n(A∩B)
➻ 40 = 27 + 25 - n (A∩B)
➻ 40 = 52 - n (A∩B)
➻ n (A∩B) = 52 - 40
➻ ∴ n (A∩B) = 12
∴ Required Number of persons who can speak both English and Spanish are <u>12 .</u>
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
➻ n(A∪B) = n(A) + n (B) - n(A∩B)
➻ 40 = 27 + 25 - 12
➻ 40 = 52 - 12
➻ 40 = 40
➻ ∴ L.H.S = R.H.S

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
is the given line 3x - 4y = -17?
then,
- 4y = -3x -17
y=(3/4)x+17/4
it is parallel, so slope of our line is 3/4 or 0.75
y=0.75x+b
next, lets plug in the given point to get the y-int
2=0.75*(-3)+b
2=-2.25+b
b-2.25=2
b=4.25
the equation is y=0.75x+4.25
does this clear anything, or am I off topic? please tell me I will help you
Answer:
x+1
Step-by-step explanation:
1.) -2(-x-1)-(x+1)
2.) -2(-x-1) = 2x+2
3.) 2x+2-(x+1)
4.) -(x+1) = -x-1
5.) 2x+2-x-1 = x+1
ANSWER: x+1
