3/4x - 16 = 28
+16 +16
3/4x = 44
*3/4 *3/4
x = 176/3
Just like 2 squared = 4, the square root of 2 multiplied by itself will result in a product of 2. Squaring a number always means multiplying that number by the same number.
There are many ways to solve simultaneous linear equations. One of my favorite for finding integer solutions is graphing. The attached graph shows the solution to be ...
... (x, y) = (4, 7)
_____
You can also use Cramer's Rule, or the Vedic math variation of it, which tells you the solution to

is given by

Here, that means
... x = (9·67-5·75)/(9·8-5·3) = 228/57 = 4
... y = (75·8-67·3)/57 = 399/57 = 7
_____
A (graphing) calculator greatly facilitates either of these approaches.
So you can say that the weight of a koala here can be x.
So x * 1/8 = 2
2 being the chinchilla's weight and the 1/8 coming from the fact that the chinchilla weighs 1/8 of the weight of the koala.
So you can just divide both sides by 1/8 first.
x * 1/8 = 2
/ 1/8 / 1/8
Or,
x *1/8 * 8/1 = 2 * 8/1
x = 16
So the koala weighs 16 pounds.
Answer:
63.4°
Step-by-step explanation:
Pole height = 1
shadow = 1/2
tan ∠CAB = 1 / (1/2) = 2
∠CAB = 63.4°
