Y = mx + b
m = (0 - -5)/(6 - 3) = 5/3
y = 5/3x + b
0 = 5/3(6) + b
b = -10
(y = 5/3x - 10)3
3y = 5x - 30
3y - 5x = -30
5x - 3y = 30
Answer:
61 and -87
Step-by-step explanation:
If the numbers are x and x - 148, we can write the following equation:
x + x - 148 = -26
2x - 148 = -26
2x = 122
x = 61 so x - 148 = 61 - 148 = -87
Set up two fractions:
8/x and 3/5
Set them equal to each other and cross multiply to get:
8*5 = 3x
40 = 3x
13.3 = x or 13 and 1/3 feet tall.
