The concept that is useful in order to answer this item is the concept of ratio and proportion. Let x be the height of the rock from the ground. We use the equation below to answer.
                                    5.5 ft / 18 ft = x ft / 209.5 ft
The value of x from the equation is 64 ft. Thus, they will be needing approximately 64 ft of rope.

Solve the following systems by substitution
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1

                x = 5                       Equation l

                2x + y = 10              Equation ll

- Substitute Equation l in equation ll

               2(5) + y = 10

                y = 10 - 10

                y = 0

- Solution  (5, 0)

Question 2

                 x + 16y = 20          Equation l

                 x = 4y                    Equation ll

Substitute equation ll in equation l

                4y + 16y = 20

                        20y = 20

                           y = 20/20

                           y = 1

-Find x

                x = 4(1)

                x = 4

-Solution

                (4, 1)

Question 3

                   2x + 8y = 20            Equation l

                     x = 2                       Equation ll

-Substitute equation ll in equation l

                   2(2) + 8y = 20

                      4 + 8y = 20

                            8y = 20 - 4

                            8y = 16

                              y = 16/8

                              y = 2

- Solution

                   (2, 2)

Given:

The equation is

\left(z+\dfrac{6}{7}\right)+\dfrac{2}{14}=-1

To find:

The solution of the given equation.

Solution:

We have,

\left(z+\dfrac{6}{7}\right)+\dfrac{2}{14}=-1

It can be written as

\left(z+\dfrac{6}{7}\right)+\dfrac{1}{7}=-1

\left(z+\dfrac{6}{7}\right)=-1-\dfrac{1}{7}

Multiply both sides by 7.

7z+6=-7-1

7z+6=-8

7z=-8-6

7z=-14

Divide both sides by 7.

z=\dfrac{-14}{7}

z=-2

Therefore, the value of z is -2.
