Answer:
42
Step-by-step explanation:
The height of the pole is 4 times shorter than the length of the shadow 20÷5=4
The height of the building must be 4 times shorter than its shadow length 168÷4=42
Answer:
(0,-4) (5,0)
Step-by-step explanation:
4x-5y=20
First, we must put the equation into slope intercept form: y= mx+b
5y=4x-20=y=4/5x-4
The y intercept, by definition, is b. In this scenario, b is -4.
One ordered pair that works is (0,-4).
Also, we can find the ordered pair for the x intercept. By definition, the x intercept is the value of x when y equals zero. hence, we substitute 0 for y and then we can find an ordered pair that works and solve for x!:
- 0=4/5(x)-4= 4=4/5x
- 4x=20
- x=5
Therefore, (5,0) works as well!
I think it would be no because it has the same number 0 in the input and output side which is a big no no
Answer:
33:79
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told that a factory is going to hire 33 new employees.
and the total applicants is 79
In this problem, we want to represent the situation as a ratio of new hires to applicants
Since the question says new hires to applicants
Hence, the ratio will be
33 to 79
or
33/79, we can simplify this as
33:79
Use substitution
-x + 4 = 1/3x + 8
4 = 4/3x + 8
-4 = 4/3x
x = -4 * 3/4
x = -3
Then plug x into one of the original equations. In this case y = -x + 4 is the easiest.
y = -(-3) + 4
y = 7
