Most of the information's required for solving the question is already given in the question.
Height of the building that casts a shadow of 20 m = 32 m
Then
Height of the man that casts a shadow of 1.2 m = (32/20) * 1.2 meter
                                                                             = 3.2 * 1.2 meter
                                                                             = 3.84 meter
So the actual height of the person casting a shadow of 1.2 meter is 3.84 meters. I hope that the procedure used for solving the problem is easy enough for you to understand. You can definitely use this method in future for solving problems of similar type without requiring any additional help from outside.

-2 -13.8x = -8 -(6x+1)
Varvara68 [4.7K]
-2 -13.8x = -8 -6x -1
First, I distributed the negative 1 that was outside of the parentheses to the positive 6x and the positive 1.

-2 -13.8x = -9 -6x
Then I added the negative 8 to the negative 1 which equals negative 9.

-2 -13.8x +6x = -9 -6x +6x
After that I used the addition property and added a positive 6x to both sides.

-2 -7.8x = -9
Then simplifying.

+2 -2 -7.8x = -9 +2
After simplifying, I used the addition property again, adding a positive 2 to both sides.

-7.8x = -7
Simplified.

-7.8x (-1) = -7 (-1)
Then I multiplied both sides by with a negative 1 since the variable cannot be a negative.

7.8x = 7
Simplified

(1/7.8) 7.8x = (1/7.8) 7
Then, to isolate the veriable, I multiplied 1/7.8 to both sides.

x = 1.11428571429
The answer !

I hope this helped !

PLEASE ANSWER WITH SOLUTION PLS
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

whatever% of anything, is just (whatever/100) * anything.

there were a total of 560000 votes, now, off those some are valid and some are invalid.

we know 15% of that are invalid, that simply means that 85% are valid, since 85% + 15% is the whole thing, or 100%, if 15% are not good, the other 85% are the good ones.

how many are the valid ones anyway?  well, 85% of 560000, which is just (85/100) * 560000.

we know that off those valid ones, the candidate got 75% of those, so how much is 75% of that?

well, (75/100) * [ (85/100) * 560000 ].
