Answer:

  114 inches, or 9 ft 6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The chair's shadow is 72/48 = 1.5 times as long as the lifeguard's shadow. Since shadow length is presumed proportional to height, we expect the lifeguard chair to be 1.5 times as tall as the lifeguard.

  1.5(76 in) = 114 in = 9 ft 6 in . . . height of lifeguard chair

What is <br> -3x+3y=6<br> 3x+5y=-46
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

x = -7 , y = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{3 y - 3 x = 6 | (equation 1)

3 x + 5 y = -46 | (equation 2)

Add equation 1 to equation 2:

{-(3 x) + 3 y = 6 | (equation 1)

0 x+8 y = -40 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 3:

{-x + y = 2 | (equation 1)

0 x+8 y = -40 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 2 by 8:

{-x + y = 2 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = -5 | (equation 2)

Subtract equation 2 from equation 1:

{-x+0 y = 7 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = -5 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 1 by -1:

{x+0 y = -7 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = -5 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer: {x = -7 , y = -5
