Answer: the dwarf tree grew by 3 inches.
the semi dwarf tree grew by 6 inches.
the full size tree grew by 18 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent how much the semi-dwarf lemon tree grew.
Last month, a dwarf lemon tree grew half as much as a semi-dwarf lemon tree. This means that the amount by which the dwarf lemon tree grew is expressed as x/2
A full-size lemon tree grew three times as much as the semi-dwarf lemon. This means that the amount by which the full-size lemon tree grew is expressed as 3x
Together, the three trees grew 27 inches. This means that
x/2 + x + 3x = 27
Cross multiplying by 2, it becomes
x + 2x + 6x = 54
9x = 54
x = 54/9
x = 6 inches
The dwarf tree grew by 6/2 = 3 inches.
The full-size lemon tree grew by 3 × 6 = 18 inches

Answer:
y=145 and x=55
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract 180 by 35 for y and 90-35 for x. Hope this helps again. Lol
Answer:
x = - 
, x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
(4x - 5)² = 49 ( take the square root of both sides )
4x - 5 = ± 
= ± 7 ( add 5 to both sides )
4x = 5 ± 7, thus
4x = 5 - 7 = - 2 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 
= -
or
4x = 5 + 7 = 12 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 3
As a check
Substitute these values into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then they are the solutions.
x = -
left side = (- 2 - 5)² = (- 7)² = 49 = right side ⇒ solution
x = 3
left side = (12 - 5)² = 7² = 49 = right side ⇒ solution
Answer:
1063 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
For shadow problems, we assume the sun's rays are parallel, so the triangles formed are similar. That means the ratio of height to shadow length is the same for each object.
h/(580 ft) = (5.5 ft)/(3 ft)
h = (5.5 ft)(580/3) ≈ 1063 ft
The height of the monument is about 1063 feet.
