Answer:

20 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Shadow of vertical poles : 6m ; 15m

Length of poles : 8cm ; h

8cm long pole = shadow length, 6m

h cm long pole = shadow length, 15 m

Using cross multiplication :

8cm * 15 m = h cm * 6m

120 = 6h

h = 120 / 6

h = 20 cm

Height of second pole = 20cm

7x-4=5x+15 solve the following equation
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
Remember you can do anything to an equaiton as long as you do it to both sides


7x-4=5x+15
minus 5x both sides
2x-4=15
add 4 both sides
2x=19
divide by 2
x=19/2

Solve the following application problem. Be sure to show your system of equations and the steps to solve the problem.
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

  • boat: 6 mph
  • current: 2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between time, speed, and distance is ...

  speed = distance/time

For boat speed b and current speed c, the speed downstream is ...

  b +c = (16 mi)/(2 h) = 8 mi/h

The speed upstream is ...

  b -c = (16 mi)/(4 h) = 4 mi/h

Adding the two equations eliminates the c term:

  2b = 12 mi/h

  b = 6 mi/h . . . . . divide by 2

Solving the second equation for c, we get ...

  c = b -4 mi/h = 6 mi/h -4 mi/h = 2 mi/h

The speed of the boat in still water is 6 mi/h; the current is 2 mi/h.
