Well, its kind of obivious that 2x + 4 stands out, but I think you are asking why. Whereas all other lines shown are vertical or horizontal, 2x+4 is diagonal.
The longer an object, the longer the shadow they cast at a given time of the day and vice versa. This is called direct proportionality. At the same time,
If 15 foot flagpole ---- casts 11 foot shandow
28 foot tree -------- casts ?? foot shadow
The proportion would therefore be:
Length of shadow cast by tree = (28/15)*11 = 20.533 foot.
Answer:
1/12
Step-by-step explanation:
So you start with an equation. 2/3 plus 1/4= ?.
Step 1: Find a common donominator.
Count by each number until they meat up.
3 6 9 12
4 8 12
Step 2: Multiply.
Basically, make sure that if you do something to the bottom you do the same to the top. You have
=
. 3 times 4 is 12. 2 times 4 is 8. Your new fraction is
.
=
. 4 times 3 is 12. 1 times 3 is 3. Your new fraction is
.
Step 3: Just Add!

Step 4: Answer the question! The question asks "How much cake is left. You know that a whole cake is
. So, 
Quotient just means the answer when dividing, so let's divide!:


Simplify (they are both divisible by 15):

And there ya go!
