hi,
Express the ratios in fractional form, that is
= ( cross- multiply )
y + 3 = k(y + 5) ← distribute
y + 3 = ky + 5k ( subtract ky from both sides )
y - ky + 3 = 5k ( subtract 3 from both sides )
y - ky = 5k - 3 ← factor out y from each term on the left side
y(1 - k) = 5k - 3 ← divide both sides by (1 - k)
y = 5k- 3
____
1 - k
22/32 = 100/x
22x = 100(32)
22x = 3200
x = 3200/22
x = 145.45 ft
