The height of flagpole is 12.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Height of woman = 5 foot

Shadow of woman = 6 feet

Ratio of height to shadow = 5:6

Shadow of flagpole = 15 foot

Height of flagpole = x

Ratio of height to shadow = x:15

Using proportion;

Ratio of height to shadow :: Ratio of height to shadow

5:6::x:15\\

Product of mean = Product of extreme

6*x=15*5\\6x=75

Dividing both sides by 6

\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{75}{6}\\x=12.5

The height of flagpole is 12.5 feet.

How many solutions does the system have?
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

none

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve this equation we would say that

let

x + y = 5 .............................. equation 1

x + y = 6 .................................... equation 2

from equation 2

x + y = 6 .................................... equation 2

x = 6 -y...................................... equation 3

substitute for x into equation 1

x + y = 5 .............................. equation 1

6 - y + y = 5

from here this equation cannot be solved further therefore it has no solution.

Answer:

2x + y = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

standard form of equation of straight line is

ax+by = c

that  is terms containing x and y should be  on LHS and constant term should be  on RHS

______________________________________________

Given equation

y + 1 = - 2x - 3

lets bring -2x on LHS ,

add 2x on lHS and RHS

y + 1  + 2x = - 2x - 3 + 2x

=> y + 1  + 2x = -3

on lHS, 1 is there which constant term lets bring it on RHS

subtract 1 from both sides

y + 1  + 2x  - 1= -3 -1

y + 2x = -4

rearranging it

2x + y = -4  (Answer)
