Third, multiply both sides by 12 (the LCM of 3 and 4) / Your problem should look like:
Fourth, subtract 2 from both sides. / Your problem should look like:
Fifth, simplify -9x + 12 - 2 to -9x + 10. / Your problem should look like:
Sixth, add 9x to both sides. / Your problem should look like:
Seventh, add 8x + 9x to get 17x. / Your problem should look like:
Eighth, divide both sides by 17. / Your problem should look like:
Answer as fraction: x =
Answer as decimal: x = 0.5882
The answer is 48 feet (D).
Explanation:
To solve this, you must think of the monument and its shadow and Adam and his shadow as a triangle, the person/object being the vertical leg, the shadows being the horizontal leg, and a line connecting them being the hypotenuse. Also, we can assume that these triangles are similar. First, we can set the scale to be 40/5 (the two shadows set a scale because the triangles are similar). Then, we can put x/6 (the actual things are similar, and the scale was established to be building/measurement). Next, we can set the two fractions equal to each other (40/5 = x/6) and solve. We can cross multiply to get 5x = 40 * 6. That goes to 5x = 240. Finally, we can divide by five on each side to get x = 48 feet (D).
I guess non of them, as all of them can be expressed by fractions.
Answer:
c, 4/3
Step-by-step explanation:
you need to isplate y so subtract 5 from both sides then divide both sides by 3, the coefficient of x is now 4/3 and x coefficient is the slope
