His shadow should be 17.3

18^{2} = x^{2} +5^{2}  \\324= x^2 +25 \\x^2= 324-25\\x^{2} =299\\x=\sqrt{299} \\x=17.29161646579058\\x=17.3ft

8xy= 2(2x + y) solve for y
STatiana [176]

Answer:  \displaystyle y= \frac{2\text{x}}{4\text{x} - 1}

============================================

Work Shown:

8\text{x}y= 2(2\text{x} + y)\\\\8\text{x}y= 4\text{x} + 2y\\\\8\text{x}y - 2y= 4\text{x}\\\\y(8\text{x} - 2)= 4\text{x}\\\\y= \frac{4\text{x}}{8\text{x} - 2}\\\\y= \frac{2*2\text{x}}{2(4\text{x} - 1)}\\\\y= \frac{2\text{x}}{4\text{x} - 1}\\\\

---------------

Explanation:

The idea is to first get all the y terms to one side. I did this by subtracting 2y from both sides in the third step.

Then factor out y and divide both sides by (8x-2)

Afterward there's the optional steps of simplifying (as shown in the final two steps).

zalisa [80]
Let,
Harry's age - x then Nick is 7x. 
After 6 years, Harry is  x+6 and Nick is 7x+6
So, 7x+6= 5(x+6)=> 2x = 30-6X = 12
In 6 years, Harry will be 12+6 = 18 years (Ans)
