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

                   \frac{20}{8} =  \frac{x}{6}

Solve for x

                      x = 6(20) / 8

                     x = 120 / 8

                     x = 15 ft

1 - For what value of n is 20 = n/5 + 10 ?
Elena-2011 [213]
First one

20=n/5+10
minus 10 both sides
10=n/5
times 5 both sides
50=n


2.
hmm
expand
p(x)=2x^2+5x+3-3x-3n
p(x)=2x^2+2x+3-3n
it looks like the coefients of the x terms are divisble by 2
because
if we have
p(x)=2(something)
the p(x) is divisible by 2

therefor that factor is 2 or -2
find what value of n works
so
3-3n=a multipule of 2
we are given
-3,-2,0,2
try each
3-3(-3)=3+9=12, that's divisble by 2
3-3(-2)=3+6=9, that's not divisible by 2
3-3(0)=3, that's not divisble by 2
3-3(2)=3-6=3, that's not divisble by 2


the onnly one that woks is when n=-3

answer is A

Division by zero is allowed only when combined with the distributive property. True or False?
fredd [130]
It’s false because you can never divide by zero unless it’s a fraction then it’d be automatically 0
