Answer:
The answer to your question is: the height of the light pole is 15 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
See the picture below
Now, we can do proportions to finds the height of the light pole

Solve for x
x = 6(20) / 8
x = 120 / 8
x = 15 ft
Answer:
a = (x - b)/2
Step-by-step explanation:
2a + b = x
-b -b
2a = x - b
/2 /2
a = (x - b)/2
for ex:
x = 3
b = 2
a = ((3) - (2))/2 = 0.5
a = 0.5
2a + b = x
2(0.5) + 2 = 3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
It would add a 0
You should get it now from my previous answer.
But to apply it.
9 - 8b + 6b
9 + (-8b + 6b) <- Collect like bases (b)
9 + (-2b)
9 - 2b
Therefore it simplified is 9 - 2b
