The stucco column is 4.2 meters tall.
You have to set up a ratio.    X              2.1           
                                            ----------  =    ----------  
                                                 4               2  
Make sure to keep the heights and shadow equal to each other. then cross multiply (2.1*4) and divide (8.4/2)

Gemma recently rode her bicycle to visit her friend who lives 6 miles away. On her way there, her average speed was 16 miles per
DochEvi [55]

first speed --- x mph

return speed -- x+16 mph

6/x + 6/(x+16) = 1

times each term by x(x+16)

6(x+16) + 6x = x(x+16)

x^2 + 4x - 96 = 0

(x-8)(x+12) = 0

x = 8 or x is a negative

her first speed was 8 mph

her return speed was 24 mph

check:

6/8 + 6/24 = 1 , that's good!

The answer to this problem is 16.

To solve we must follow the order of operations.

8/2 is 4.

2+2 is 4.

So, now we multiply 4(4) and will get 16 as the answer

So, 16 is the answer.
