second number is 17, first number is 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
ignore the "at the instant the man is 30 feet away" part, set it as X and the man's shadow as Y.
Similar triangles so we can do 
.
Solve for it we get 44y = 6x
Differentiate relative to time t, we get 44y' = 6x'.
change in x (x') is equal to 5. And we get the answer y' = 
.
the ft/sec is the rate of which the length of the shadow is changing. add 5 to it for the rate of the tip of his shadow moving away from the tower.
4(x + 7) = 38
Since there is no operation sign between the 4 and parenthesis, it makes it an automatic multiplication problem.
You would use distributive property to multiply each which should leave your equation looking like this afterwards:
4x + 28 = 38
(4 times x and 4 times 7)
You would then solve it like a two step equation,
1. +28 - 28 = 0
2. 38 - 28 = 10
4x = 10
10 divided by 4 = 2.5
x = 2.5
We can recheck our work by substituting in the value of x.
4(2.5 + 7) = 38
10 + 28 = 38
When we substituted in the value, it gave us the correct inequality.
Therefore,
x = 2.5
