Answer:

50ft

let x=height of tree.

AB/DE = BC/EC

The ratio is == x/5 =120/12

x/5 = 10

x = 50

Height of tree is 50 ft.

#2) The Ramy family went

suter [353]

If there were only sandwiches bought, there would be 15, if there were only salads bought there would be 20. There’s probably more than one possibility, but that’s the best I can do, considering how long it’s been since I’ve done this type of problem. I’m all the way to learning determinants, so I really have to think to remember these. Sorry in advance if this doesn’t help at all, I’m not the best at this, but I can still try.

Find x, if 3x − 5(y + x ) ^2 = 16 and 4x + 2(y + x )^ 2 = 30

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by solving for $(y+x)^2$ which is a common expression for both equations. Then in the first equation:

$3\,x5\,(y+x)^2=16\\3x-16=5\,(y+x)^2\\(y+x)^2=\frac{3\,x-16}{5}$

and in the second equation:

$4\,x+2\,(y+x)^2=30\\2\,(y+x)^2=30-4\,x\\(y+x)^2=15-2\,x$

Now we make the two $(y+x)^2$ expressions equal so we get:

$\frac{3\,x-16}{5} =15-2\,x\\3\,x-16=75-10\,x\\13\,x=75+16\\13\,x=91\\x=7$
