Set up multiplication to cancel units you do not want in your answer...
24ft(.25in/3ft)=2in
Subtract 3 from y you get 6(-y)
6*y=6y

Answer:
The value of x is -5/3.
The value of 1/3 - x is 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
-3( x+2)-5=x-(6+x) Distribute
-3x + -6 - 5 = x - 6 - x Combine llike terms
-3x + -11 = -6 <em><u>POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE IS NEGATIVE</u></em>
-3x -11 = -6 Add 11 on both sides
-3x = 5 Isolate the variable by dividing -3 on both sides
x = -5/3
1/3 - x
= 1/3 - -5/3 <u><em> </em></u><u><em>NEGATIVE AND NEGATIVE IS POSITIVE</em></u>
= 1/3 + 5/3
= 6/3
<em>= 2</em>
<em>You must isolate the variable in order to solve equations with variables.
</em>
<em>
</em>
<em>Isolating variable is basically when you divide, multiply, add, or subtract to put a variable on </em><u><em>ONLY </em></u><em>one side of the equation.

Answer:
39 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
In the attached diagram
The height of the tree = AB
The height of the man =DE
The length of the shadow =BC
We want to determine how far away from the tree the person is, i.e. |AD|=y
In Triangle ABC
In Triangle CED
Therefore:
Therefore, the distance of the man from the tree is 39 feet.
