Set it up as a function:

Y = 8 - (7/10)x

Y = 6 - (1/5)x


Y is the height.

Set the equations equal to each other and solve for x.


8 - (7/10)x = 6 - (1/5)x

8 - (5/10)x = 6

- (1/2)x = 6 - 8

-(1/2)x = -2

x=4 hours

3.2 geometry worksheet
alekssr [168]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

5. 21x + 4 = 22x - 2 (corresponding angles)

Collect like terms

21x - 22x = -4 - 2

-x = -6

divide both sides by -1

x = 6

6. (x + 72) + (x + 132) = 180 (linear pair)

x + 72 + x + 132 = 180

Add like terms

2x + 204 = 180

2x = 180 - 204

2x = -24

x = -12

7. 90 = 22x + 2 (vertical angles)

90 - 2 = 22x

88 = 22x

Divide both sides by 22

4 = x

x = 4

8. 12x + 10 = 13x + 3 (vertical angles)

Collect like terms

12x - 13x = -10 + 3

-x = -7

Divide both sides by -1

x = 7

9. 17x = 16x + 5 (alternate exterior angles)

17x - 16x = 5

x = 5

✔️17x

Plug in the value of x

17(5) = 85°

10. 21x - 6 = 20x (corresponding angles)

Add like terms

21x - 20x = 6

x = 6

✔️20x

20(6) = 120°
