Answer:

1. find the least common denominator for the left-hand side fraction. This brings you to 8/8x + 3x/8x = 1/2

2. Add the numerator on the left-hand side of this equation, (8+3x)/8x = 1/2

3. Multiply both sides by 2, that will lead you to (8+3x)/4x =1/1

4. Multiply both sides by 4x, we get 8+3x=4x

5. Finally, subtracting 3x from both sides simplifies the equation to x=8. Note that this is as simple as this expression can get so you can not go any further, therefore 1/x+3/8=1/2 simplifies to x=8.

A person who is 6ft tall walks away from a streetlight. When the person is 15 feet away from the light, the tip of his shadow is

Citrus2011 [14]

We essentially have a ratio here:
$\frac{shadow}{actual}$

Since we know the ratio is going to stay constant at $\frac{5}{6}$ , we can use this to find the height of the lamp along with the information that the total distance from the lamp to the tip of his shadow is 20:
$\frac{5}{6}=\frac{20}{h}$
$5h=120$
$h=24$
