Hello,
Put the 3 as a common factor.
Look:
3x - 6 = 3 . ( x - 2 )
Then,
( 3x - 6) / (x - 2) = 3 .( x - 2) / (x -2)
Now simplity ( x -2)
= 3
1 is the 3rd option down
2 is the second option down
For this case we have that the expression in its exact form is the same, that is:

If it is expressed in decimal form we have:

If we want equivalent expressions, we must first mention the following property of powers and roots:
![\sqrt [n] {a ^ m} = a ^ {\frac {m} {n}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%20%5Bn%5D%20%7Ba%20%5E%20m%7D%20%3D%20a%20%5E%20%7B%5Cfrac%20%7Bm%7D%20%7Bn%7D%7D)
Then, we can rewrite the expression as:

Answer:

Given :
A 136 foot tall cell phone tower casts a 79.9 foot shadow.
To Find :
The shadow length for a nearby 40 foot telephone pole .
Solution :
We know , the ratio of height and shadow , will be same for every object .
Let , length of shadow of pole is x .
So ,

Therefore , the length of shadow of tower is 23.5 foot .
Hence , this is the required solution .
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Use the Pyhagorean theorem:

We have

Substitute:

<em>subtract 49 from both sides</em>
