Answer:

  16 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The shadow is 20/30 = 2/3 the length of the object, so the 6-foot person's shadow will be 4 ft long. It will begin to emerge when the person is 4 feet from the tip of the building's shadow. That distance is ...

  20 ft - 4 ft = 16 ft

from the building.

Answer:

- 43t - 22s - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

(–45t + 53s) + (–3 – 75s + 2t)

Opening the brackets

-45t + 53s -3 - 75s + 2t

Collecting like terms

-45t + 2t + 53s - 75s -3

Simplify the expression

-43t -22s - 3

The set of natural numbers x that satisfy x + 8 = 5
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

The set of natural numbers can be denoted as: {} (null set) because no natural number will satisfy the given equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

x+8=5

To find the set of natural numbers that satisfies the above equation.

Solution:

In order to find the set of solutions for the equation, we will solve it for x

We have:

x+8=5

Subtracting both sides by 8.

x+8-8=5-8

∴ x=-3

Thus, we get only one solution for x that satisfies the given equation but it is not a natural number. -3 is an integer.

Set of natural numbers {1,2,3,4,5,6........}

Thus, we can say the set of natural numbers that satisfies the equation is a null set {}.

the ratio of women to total  is  

there are 234 employees total

To find the number of men works , we make a proportion

Cross multiply it

8 * 234 = 13x

1872 = 13x

Divide by 13 on both sides

x= 144
