Answer:  36 feet

==================================================

Work Shown:

(sign height)/(sign shadow) = (pole height)/(pole shadow)

8/2 = x/9

8*9 = 2*x ... cross multiply

72 = 2x

2x = 72

x = 72/2 ... divide both sides by 2

x = 36

The utility pole is 36 feet tall.

8.5+4(1-2.5k)=24.5 round to the nearest hundredth
frosja888 [35]
Hi there! 

Your question: 

8.5 + 49(1-2.5k)=24.5

My answer: 

8.5 + 4(1-2.5k) = 24.5 >>>>>>> first, you have to distribute

8.5 + 4 - 10k = 24.5 >>>>>>>> now, we are going to combine like terms.

12.5 - 10k = 24.5 >>>>>> now, we are going to subtract 12.5 on both sides 

-10k = 12 >>>>>>>>> finally, divide -10 on both sides

k = -1.2


Hope this helps you!
