Answer:
The answer to your question is: L = 30 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
man = 6 ft
man shadow = 5 ft
lamppost shadow = 25 ft
lamppost height = ? = L
Process
L = 30 ft
Answer:
It's 24 packs of cat food
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to think of it as 30% of 80.
30 ?
----- = ----
100 80
Now you have to find out what is in the blank by doing 80 times 30 to find what that equals. That equals 2,400. Now you have to find what times a 100 gets you 2,400. You divide a 100 by 2,400 to get 24. There's your answer
950 g * 1 cm^3/10.5g = 950/10.5 cm^3 = 90.476 cm^3
Then its midpoint = (-2, 3)
If you have multiple equations with multiple variables, you can either do clever substitutions, or turn it into a matrix on which you can perform linear combinations or multiplications (Gauss elimination)
1 1 1 1
2 1 -1 8
1 -1 1 -5
(note how the above 3 rows represent the 3 equations, just got rid of the variables, plus sign and equals sign)
subtract row1 from row3, that eliminates x and z from row 3.
1 1 1 1
2 1 -1 8
0 -2 0 -6
divide row3 by -2, that will give y a factor of 1
1 1 1 1
2 1 -1 8
0 1 0 3
The last row now says y=3
