Set up ratios of height / shadow length:

8/6 = x/100

Cross multiply

6x = 800

Divide both sides by 6

X = 133.33 feet

The tower is 133.3 feet

Answer:

x = $-\frac{3}{b}$

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is,

-2(bx - 5) = 16

Dividing by (-2) on both sides of the equation,

$\frac{-2(bx-5)}{(-2)}=\frac{16}{(-2)}$

(bx - 5) = -8

By adding 5 on both the sides of the equation,

(bx - 5) + 5 = -8 + 5

bx = -3

Dividing by 'b' on both the sides of the equation,

$\frac{bx}{b}=\frac{-3}{b}$

x = $-\frac{3}{b}$

If b = 3,

x = $-\frac{3}{3}$

x = -1
