Answer:

The flagpole is 54.5 inches tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question using proportions, by rule of three.

Each feet has 12 inches. So

A 6 foot man measured his shadow at13 feet 9 inches.

So when the real height is of 6 feet, the shadow is of 13 feet + (9/12) feet = 13.75 feet.

When the shadow is of 125 feet, the height is x. So

6 feet - 13.75 feet

x feet - 125 feet

Applying cross multiplication

13.75x = 6*125

x = \frac{6*125}{13.75}

x = 54.5

The flagpole is 54.5 inches tall.

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

4(x-3)(x+6)

Step-by-step explanation:

We factor out the 4 first since all numbers are divisible by 4. That leaves us with x^2+3x-18.

Then we factor this to get (x-3)(x+6).

So the factored form of the equation is 4(x-3)(x+6)

You need at least $60 to buy a new video game. You have saved $25. Which inequality models how much more you must save?
bazaltina [42]
So we know that you need $35 more, to afford the video game. (60-25=35) 

I am going to assume that $35 would take place for N, I don't know what topic you may be working on so I am going to go with a brain kinda question. 

I would also double check with someone else, I may be wrong and I wouldn't want  you to fail! 

So we can work on question A first (reminding you were are assuming $35 is taking place for N):

35+25<60

We know that 35+25 would be 60, so if this was the correct option, it would be equal to. 

B: 35-25>60

Yes, 60 would be greater but its not really explaining how much more money you would need. 

C: 

Again like A, it would be equal to. But the thing that caught off guard about this question was, yes you would need 35+25 to get to 60. But is that what it really means?

D. 60 + 25 < 35

Yes it is true that 60 + 25 is greater than 35, but I feel like it means you already have that $60 which isnt true. 

From what I believe, I believe your answer would be C. But to be sure I would check with someone else! Hope I helped!
