Let, the height of the building be x ft.
Given the building casts 35ft shadow.
The height of the flagpole given which is 22ft and casts a shadow of 10ft.
Now to find the height of the building we have to equate the ratio of height and shadow of the building and the flagpole.
So we can write,
x/35 = 22/10
To find x, we have to get rid of 35 from the left side and have to move it to right side. As 35 is divided there, we will multiply 35 to both sides.
(x/35)× 35 = (22/10)×35
x = (22×35)/10
x = 770/10
x = 77
So, the height of the building is 77 ft which is the required answer here.
Distribute 2 to x and -2, and -6 to x and -2
2(x - 2) = 2x - 4
-6(x - 2) = -6x + 12
2x - 4 = 4x - 6x + 12
Simplify. Combine like terms
2x - 4 = (4x - 6x) + 12
2x - 4 = -2x + 12
Isolate the x. Add 4 to both sides, and 2x to both sides
2x (+2x) - 4 (+4) = -2x (+2x) + 12 (+4)
2x + 2x = 12 + 4
Simplify
4x = 16
Isolate the x. Divide 4 from both sides
4x/4 = 16/4
x = 16/4
x = 4
4 is your answer for x.
hope this helps

Answer:
3.33 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
The total distance traveled by the hiker is 5 * 2 = 10 miles, and the total time travelled is 2 + 1 = 3 hours.
So, to find the average speed of the entire trip, we can use the formula:
distance = speed * time
With distance = 10 and time = 3, we have:
10 = speed * 3
speed = 10/3 = 3.33 miles per hour.
