Answer:

80 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the light house be x feet.

$\therefore \: \frac{128}{8} = \frac{x}{5} \\ \\ x = \frac{128 \times 5}{8} \\ \\ x = \frac{640}{8} \\ \\ x = 80 \: feet$

Rewrite the following equation in slope-intercept form.

Tamiku [17]

Hi there!

Slope intercept form is $y=mx+b$ . To do this, we just need to isolate y. This can be done by first moving everything that doesn't involve a y to the other side, and then dividing by the coefficient:

$16x+17y=-2$

$17y=-2-16x$

$y=-\frac{2}{17}-\frac{16}{17}x$

And there you have your answer, just above.

Hope this helps, feel free to let me know if you have any additional questions about this specific problem!

-12 (-5/6) (-2/15) How do I solve this question I am stuck on an assignment

koban [17]

If a number in parenthesis is directly next to a number without, then the two numbers need multiplied.

-12(5/6)(-2/15) is an example of a double multiplication. But we'll multiply -12 and 5/6 first, then multiply the product by -2/15.

-12x5/6=14 2/5

14 2/5x-2/15=-1 23/25
