Answer:

The flagpole is 40 feet tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we are looking for the height of the flagpole. Let <em>h</em> represent this height.

Boy - 5 feet in height and casts a 20-foot shadow

Flag pole - <em>h</em> feet in height and casts a 160-foot shadow

The relationship looks something like this:

5 : 20 :: h : 160

or

\frac{5}{20} =\frac{h}{160}

Now, we can cross multiply to find h!

20h=800\\h=40

So, the flagpole is 40 feet tall

2x+3y=1, -x+2y=-4 solve using substitution method
ollegr [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 2x+3y-3y=1-3y. -x+2y= -4

2x/2=1-3y/2. -(1-3y/2)=-4

x=1-3y/2. -1+3y/2= -4

x=1-3(-2)/2 3y/2= -4+1

x=1+6/2 3y/2×2/3= -3×2/3

x=7/2 y= -2

S.s{ 7/3,-2}

2). -4x-6y+6y=7-6y. 4x+y= -2

-4x/-4=7-6y/-4. 4(-7-6y/4)+y= -2

x= -7-6y/4. -7-6y+y = -2

x= -7-6/4 -5y/5= 5/5

x=-13/4 y= 1

S.s { -13/4, 1 }

What is<br>9 1/3 <br>- 2/3
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

Improper Faction: 26/3

Mixed Number: 8 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at 9 1/3.

How many 3s are in 9?

3 * 9 = 27

Add the remaining number from the numerator.

27 + 1 = 28

The equation is now 28/3 - 2/3.

Subtract normally to get 26/3.

Depending on what your teacher wants, you either keep it as a improper fraction or turn it into a mixed number.

The mixed number being this: 8 2/3.
