Answer:
-2x + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
(2x - 6) is subtracted from (7 - 5).
First term that into an equation.
Because our first term is being subtracted from our second one, our equation is written as:
(7 - 5) - (2x - 6).
Simplify the first term by subtracting:
7 - 5 = 2
Now simplify the second term by multiplying 2x - 6 by -1 to get them out of the parenthesis. We do this because there is a negative sign in front of it.
-1 (2x - 6)
-2x + 6
Now our equation is:
2 - 2x + 6
Combine like terms:
2 + 6 = 8
So -2x + 8
(2x - 6) subtracted from (7 - 5) is -2x+8
Base height + statue height = total height
Total height = 305
statue height = 111
base height + 111 = 305
Subtract both sides by 111
base height = 194
The height of the base is 194 feet.
Have an awesome day! :)
a vertical axis, I assume it means a vertical axis of symmetry, thus it'd be a vertical parabola, like the one in the picture below.

The two triangles we can see in the diagram are similar, which means that their measurements are proportional. Line MN on the larger triangle MNP is 71.5ft long, and its corresponding line, MA, on the smaller triangle is 71.5-22= 49.5ft long. This means that the scale factor from the bigger to the smaller triangle is 71.5/49.5=13/9.
If line MP on the bigger rectangle is 97.5ft long, then its corresponding line, MB, must be 97.5÷13/9=67.5 ft long.
Therefore, x=67.5 ft
