Answer:

33 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio of the student to their shadow and flagpole to its shadow are equal, then you can use the proportion

5.5/3 = x/18 and cross multiply to find x.

5.5 × 18 = 99

3 × x = 3x

3x/3 = x, 99/3 = 33.

x = 33.

<h3>What is a System of Equations?</h3>

A system of equations is a set of equation that have a common solution.

The solution of the equations can be determined by using the Elimination and Substitution method

3x-5y = -1

2x-y = -3

-7x = 14

x = -2

Substituting this value in the equation

3 * (-2) -5y = -1

-6 -5y = -1

-5y = 5

y = -1

Therefore, the solution of the equation is given by (-2,-1), This is represented by option C.
