<h2>Height of tree is 7.5 feet</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t be the height of pole.

Given that the tree is 5 feet shorter than a pole.

Height of pole = t + 15

Also given that the pole is 3 times as tall as the tree.

Height of pole = 3t

So we have

              t + 15 = 3t

                 2t = 15

                   t = 7.5 feet

Height of tree = 7.5 feet

Jacob has the faster time because if you make the fractions equal you would make the denominators equal by rounding 3/4 to have a denominator of 12 making it 9/12 which is larger then 5/12 making Daniel's time slower then Jacob's.

seraphim [82]

Answer:

10x - 12y = 192

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation :

-5/8x + 3/4y = 12 - - - (1)

8x + 12y = 11 ___(2)

The equivalent form of the first equation which can eliminate the y term :

Multiply (1) by - 16 :

-5/8x * - 16 + 3/4y * - 16 = 12 * - 16

10x - 12y = 192

Hence, Adding the obtained equation and equation(2) will eliminate.
