Answer:

The answer to your question is 55 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Person's height = 5 ft

Person's shadow = 10 ft

Tree's height = ?

Tree's shadow = 110 ft

- Use the Thales' theorem to solve this problem

 Person's height / Person's shadow = Tree's height / Tree's shadow

- Substitution

                     5 / 10 = x / 110

-Solve for x

                     x = 5 (110) / 10

-Simplification

                     x = 550 / 10

-Result

                     x = 55 ft

-Conclusion

The tree is 55 ft height

Two cars leave from a town at the same time traveling in opposite directions. One travels 5 mph faster than the other. In 3 hour
Doss [256]

Let the slower cars speed equal X.

The faster cars speed would be X+5 ( 5 mph faster).


They traveled for 3 hours

Multiply the time of travel by speed to equal the number of miles traveled.

So you have:

3X + 3(X+5) = 267 miles

Simplify the left side:

3X + 3X+15 = 267

Combine like terms:

6x + 15 = 267

Subtract 15 from each side"

6x = 252

Divide each side by 6:

x = 252 / 6

X = 42


The slower car was traveling at 42 mph and the faster car was traveling at 47 mph.

What is the solution to 2(-4x+1)=2/3(x+2)
Rzqust [24]

Hello!

The answer to your problem is: x=1/13

<u>Simplify both sides of the equation</u>

(2)(-4x)+(2)(1)=(2/3)(x)+(2/3)(2) (Distribute)

-8x+2=2/3x+4/3

<u>Subtract 2/3x from both sides</u>

-8x+2-2/3x=2/3+4/3-2/3x

-26x+2=4/3

<u>Subtract 2 from both sides</u>

-26/3x+2-2=4/3-2

-26/3=-2/3

<u>Multiply both sides by 3/(-26)</u>

(3/26)*(-26/3x)=(3/-26)*(-2/3)

<u>Get your answer</u>

x=1/13

Hope This Helps!
