Answer:y=-1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
125=(1/25)^(y-1)
5^3=(5^(-2))^(y-1)
5^3=5^(-2(y-1))
The same base eliminate each other we then have
3=-2(y-1)
3=-2y+2
Collect like terms
2y=2-3
2y=-1
Divide both sides by 2
2y/2=-1/2
y=-1/2

Answer:
The street light is 20 feet tall.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question depends on a proportion. Keep your height of the object in one ratio and the length of the shadow in the other.
25/x = 75/60 Notice the height of the structure is on the left. The length of the shadow is on the right. Cross multiply
75x = 60 * 25 Combine the right
75x = 1500 Divide by 75
x = 1500/75
x = 20
The street light is 20 feet tall.
