Answer:

The tree is 17.5 ft tall

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve

Shadow

-----------

height

28          8

------ = ------------

tree         5

Using cross products

28*5 = 8 * tree

140 = 8 * tree

divide each side by 8

140/8 = 8 *tree/ 8

17.5 = tree

zlopas [31]

Answer:

1.

-2 = x/4 + 1

Subtract 1 from both sides:

-2 - 1 = x/4 + 1 - 1

-3 = x/4

Multiply both sides by 4:

-3 * 4 = x/4 * 4

-12 = x

2.

3x+5

3.

X= 12 or 18

This could be read two different ways.

0=2/3x-12

12=2/3x

12÷2/3=x

12*3/2=x

18=x

—-OR—-

0=2/3(x-12)

0=2/3x-8

8=2/3x

8÷2/3=x

8*3/2=x

12=x
