A 24 feet high pole casts a shadow of 8 feet long. Divide the two

24/8 = 3

To find the nearby pole's shadow length, in which the pole is 72 feet tall, divide by 3

72/3 = 24

C. 24 feet is your answer

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: You can also solve it using ratios:

24/8 = 72/x is the ratio you will use

To solve, cross multiply

24x = 72(8)

Simplify

24x = 576

Isolate the x. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Divide 24 from both sides

24x/24 = 576/24

x = 576/24

x = 24

hope this helps

PLEASE HELP WITH THESE 4 PROBLEMS
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

  • y = -5/2x + 5
  • y = 2x -1
  • y = 24/11
  • y = 4x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for y, subtract the x-term and divide by the coefficient of y.

5x +2y = 10

  2y = -5x +10

  y = -5/2x + 5

__

2y -4x = -2

  2y = 4x -2

  y = 2x -1

__

7y +4y = 24

  y = 24/11

We assume there is a typo, but cannot tell what it is. Use the same method as described and demonstrated for the other problems.

__

-2x +1/2y = 2

  1/2y = 2x +2

  y = 4x +4
