Answer:

x=11

Step-by-step explanation:

You do 38/3x+3 and 19/x+7 and then cross mulitply and get 57x+57=38x+266. Then yoy subtract 57 from 266 and get 57x=38x+209. Now you have to subtract 38 from 57 and then answer will be 19. So now you have 19x=209. Finally you divide 209 by 19 and get x=11. Good luck!

An 18 foot tall pole casts a shadow that is 28.8 feet long. At the same time a woman casts a shadow that is 8.8 feet long how ta

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

5.5 ft tall

Step-by-step explanation:

The shadows cast by the pole and by the woman form <em>similar triangles</em>.

In similar triangles, corresponding sides are in the same proportion.

Thus,

18/28.8 = x/8.8

Multiply each side of the equation by 8.8

x = 8.8 × 18/28.8 = 5.5 ft

The woman is 5.5 ft tall.
