8x - 6 - 12x^2 + 9x
2(4x-3)-3x(3x-3)
=> (2-3x)(3x-3)
=> 3(x-1)(2-3x)
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Therefore there are 35 number of 2-point questions and 15 number of 5-point questions.
Step-by-step explanation:
i) let the number of 2 point question is x.
ii) let the number of 5 point questions be y
iii) total number of questions is 50
iv) therefore x + y = 50
v) it is also given that 2x + 5y = 145
vi) solving for the two equations found in iv) and v). Multiplying iv) by 2 we get
2x + 2y = 100
vii) subtracting equation vi) from equation v) we get 3y = 45.
viii) Therefore y = 15.
ix) using the value in viii) and substituting in iv) we get x + 15 = 50.
Therefore x = 50 - 15 = 35
x) Therefore there are 35 number of 2-point questions and 15 number of 5-point questions.
Observe attached picture.
On picture we have:
A = height of flagpole = x ft
B = length of flagpole's shadow = 24 ft
C = height of sign = 6 ft
D = length of sign's shadow = 3 ft
When we draw a picture representing this problem we can also add another line marked in red. This way we can see that we have two right-angle triangles. We can see that both have same angle marked with α.
We can apply trigonometry rules to find height of flagpole.
From small triangle containing sign we can find tangens function:

Similarly we can do for large triangle containing flagpole:

We see that these two equations have same left sides. This means that their right sides must also be same:

We can solve for A:

Height of flagpole is 48 feet.
