Answer: The height of the flagpole is 12 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the flagpole be 'H'.

So, from the figure, we can conclude that, the height and shadow of the flagpole is in proportion to the height and shadow of the stick.

Given:

Height of stick is,

Shadow of the stick is,

Shadow of the flagpole is,

Now, as these are in proportion, we have

Plug in the given values and solve for 'H'. This gives,

Hence, the height of the flagpole is 12 feet.

Consider the following pair of equations: y = x + 4 y = −5x − 2 Explain how you will solve the pair of equations by substitution

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

(-1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve using substitution, you have to know the value of either x or y. in this example, they gave you the value of y already: y=x+4.

this means you can substitute the y for (x+4). if we substitute y for (x+4) in the equation y=-5x-2, we get this:

(x+4)=-5x-2

then solve for x

6x=-6

so x=-1

since we know the x value, we can solve for y

y=x+4

y=-1+4

y=3

so the final answer is (-1, 3)
