Since we know that they have to e similar, it is a 20ft tall flagpole. the shadow of the girl is half of her height, so since the flag pole shadow is 10ft it is simple 10 multiplied by 2

The minimum and maximum temperature on a cold day can be modeled by the equation 2[x-6]+14=38 What are the min and max temperatu
SashulF [63]
Here are the steps to calculating the given equation:

Distribute 2 to x and 6: 2x-12+14=38
Group like terms: 2x+(-12+14)=38
Combine like terms: 2x+2=38
Subtract number on 'x' side: 2x+2-2=38-2
Simplify: 2x=36
Divide: 2x/2=36/2
Simplify: x=18
Label with correct terms: 
I cannot do this because you did not provide sufficient information, I would need to know what the difference between the two, or if 'x' stood for one particular temperature. Hope that helped enough with what you provided.

Solve the system of linear equations by substitution. <br> x + 4y = 6 <br> x - y = 1
bulgar [2K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (x, y) = (2, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the second equation to write an expression for x:

  x = 1 +y

Substitute that into the first equation:

  (1 +y) +4y = 6

  5y = 5 . . . . . . . . subtract 1, collect terms

  y = 1 . . . . . . . divide by 5

  x = 1 +1 = 2 . . . use the expression for x to find x from y

The solution is (x, y) = (2, 1).

Angle 1 is a complement of angle 2 and measure 2 equals 5 degrees find measure angle 1
ANTONII [103]

Angle one equals 85 because when an angle is a complement of another angle that means their degrees added together equal to 90 degrees. And so you just do 90-5=85 to get your answer.
