Remark
Make up a proportion that relates the tree and its properties to the stick and its properties.

Givens
Stick height (s_h) = 4
Stick shadow(s_s) = 2
Tree shadow = t_s = 18
Tree height = x

Formula
s_h / s_s = x / t_s

Substitute and solve.
4/2 = x / 18  Cross multiply
4*18 = 2 * x
72 = 2x        Divide by 2
72/2 = x       
x = 36

The height of the tree is 36 feet.

A collection of nickels and dimes is worth $6.10. There are 67 coins in all. how many nickels are there?
Dmitrij [34]

 Question 1:

 For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
 We have then:
 x: number of nickels
 y: number of dimes
 We write the system of equations that adapts to the problem.
 We have then:
 0.05x + 0.10y = 6.10
 x + y = 67
 Solving the system we have:
 x = 12
 y = 55
 Answer:
 there are 12 nickels

 Question 2:

 For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
 We have then:
 x: Allan's score
 y: Dave's score
 We write the system of equations that adapts to the problem.
 We have then:
 x + y = 375
 x = 2y-60
 Solving the system we have:
 x = 230
 y = 145
 Answer:
 
Dave: 145 Allan: 230

Find the inequality represented by the graph
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

y>=1*x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

y>=k*x+n

we know that 2=k+n and 0=-2k+n

so 4=2k+n and 0=-2k+n

now 4=2n so n=2

now k=1

so y>=1*x+2
