<span>Since the triangles are similar, the side lengths are proportional. In other words, if a 50 foot building makes a 75 foot shadow, that is a ratio of 50/75, or 2/3 if you reduce it. This is the same ratio that describes Sarah's height, S, compared to her shadow, which the problem says is 6 feet long. So 2/3 = S / 6 You can cross multiply to find S... 12 = 3S..... so S = 4 feet tall... Sarah is 4 feet tall.</span>

Help please I don’t understand it
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

15) 30

16) 2

for 15 you plug the -4 into the variable (x)

so...

-4(-4)-4-2-5(-4)

you do multiplication first because of PEMDAS

so -4×-4=16 it is not negative because there 2 negatives so they cancel out

then -5×-4=20

then you get this:

16-4-2+20 which equals 30

then with 16 you do the same. you just put the number for y in the variable y and same with x
