If you need part A, draw a person and label them 6 feet tall and a shadow coming off of him that is five feet long and draw a basketball hoop that and label it X feet tall and draw a shadow coming from it that is 8 feet long. To solve, you use proportions 6/5=X/8 solving this you get X=9.6 feet which is the height of the rim. Therefore, the rim does not meet regulation height, since the required height (10 feet) is greater than the actual height (9.6 feet).
I did the work for you. I also showed my work. Hope it helped
Step-by-step explanation:
5 - 4 + 7x + 1 = 7x + 2.
If there are no solutions, then it is of the form 7x + c, where c is any real number besides 2.
If there is 1 solution, then it is of the form mx + c, where m is any real number besides 7 and c is any real number.
If there are infinitely many solutions, then it is of the form 7x + 2.
