2 y = - x - 12 y = x + 5
- x - 1 = x + 5- 2 x = 5 + 1- 2 x = 6x = - 6 : 2x = - 32 y = - 3 + 52 y = 2y = 1The solution is ( - 3 , 1 ).Answer: x = - 3.
Answer:
The flagpole's shadow is 16.875 feet longer than the man's shadow
Step-by-step explanation:
The total length of the shadow is expressed by taking its actual length by a factor that depends on the position of the sun which is constant for the man too. The expression is as follows;
Height of the shadow=actual height of the flagpole×factor
where;
length of the flagpole's shadow=22.5 feet
actual height of the flagpole=32 feet
factor=f
replacing;
22.5=32×f
32 f=22.5
f=22.5/32
f=0.703125
Using this factor in the expression below;
Length of man's shadow=actual height of man×factor
where;
length of man's shadow=m
actual height of man=8 feet
factor=0.703125
replacing;
length of man's shadow=8×0.703125=5.625 feet
Determine how much longer the flagpole's shadow is as follows;
flagpoles shadow-man's shadow=22.5-5.625=16.875 feet
The flagpole's shadow is 16.875 feet longer than the man's shadow
Given that,
Total no of cards = 20
The ratio of animal cards to fruit cards is 2:3
No of animal cards = 20
Solution,
Let there are 2x animal cards and 3x fruit cards. ATQ,
2x+3x = 20
5x = 20
x = 4
Animal cards = 2x
= 2(4)
= 8
Fruit cards = 3x
= 3(4)
= 12
It is also mentioned that, of the cards, 1/3 have bananas on them. It means,
Hence, 4 cards have bananas on them.
