Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Let the numbers be x, y and z</u>
- x + y + z = 24
- 2y = z + 2
- z = x + y
<u>Solving by substitution:</u>
- x + y + z = z + z = 24
- 2z = 24
- z = 12
- 2y = z + 2
- 2y = 12 + 2
- 2y = 14
- y = 7
- z = x + y
- x = z - y
- x = 12 - 7 = 5
<u>The answer:</u>
We use the proportion for this case the pole and the tree with their shadows has the same shape forming a right triangle.
We use the ratio of the two triangles and equate them as
h1/s1 = h2/s2
where
h1 and s1 are the height and the length of a shadow of the pole,
and the other h2 and s2 are for the tree
Identify all the given values.
5 ft / 2 ft = (h2) / 10 ft
h2 = 25 ft
Therefore the height of the tree "h2" is 25 ft.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem, it says that the company not only shipped packages, but also bought a number of stamps. From the equation 6.70+0.50x, it's fairly easy to say that 6.70 is the packages,
What's not so easy is figuring out whether or not 0.50 is the stamps, or x is. However, there's an easy way to figure it out!
From this one, we would have to use "common sense" (not my words, someone elses). Using "common sense", we have to think, can someone buy 0.50 of a stamp?
Technically yes... But would someone buy 0.5 of a stamp? Not really.
So we can safetly assume that x is the "stamp", and 0.50 is <em>the cost of the stamp</em>.
Hope this helps!
