Set u a ratio of height over shadow:

Lance = 5 feet tall / 8 foot shadow

Tree = X feet tall / 32 foot shadow.

Set the ratios equal to each other and solve for X:

5/8 = x/32

Cross multiply:

8x = 160

Divide both sides by 8:

x = 160/8

x = 20

The tree is 20 feet tall.

Solve the equation for x: 2x + 22 = 4(x+3)
Elina [12.6K]
2x + 22 = 4(x + 3)...distribute thru the parenthesis
2x + 22 = 4x + 12...subtract 2x from both sides, subtract 12 from both sides
22 - 12 = 4x - 2x...simplify
10 = 2x...divide both sides by 2
10/2 = x...reduce
5 = x <==

Can someone find the points/coordinates of this graph?
BigorU [14]

Answer:

The x represents the value of the point on the x axis or the horizontal line, and the y represents the vertical line. Now, lets solve for the first point. We can first see that it only moves to the left by two from zero, which is basically -2. So, right now we have (-2,y). We then look for the y in which we see that it is down -6 from zero, so it will be (-2,-6). Time to look for the second point. We should get (2,-3). Now, with these two points, it is time to find the slope intercept form.
