Answer:

24ft is the length of the shadow of the telephone pole

Step-by-step explanation:

Well first what I did was divide 15 by 4 which equaled to 3.75, after that the question said that the telephone pole was now 90 feet tall so I just had to divide 90 by 3.75 and then 24 ft long was the final answer. I hope that helps

Solve and check the following linear equation. 6x-(4x-4)=14

goldfiish [28.3K]

6x-(4x-4)=14

We have to unfold the brackets and change the sign of each term.

6x - 4x + 4 = 14

2x + 4 = 14 | - 4

2x + 4 - 4 = 14 - 4

2x = 10 | :2

2x:2 = 10:2

x = 5


Verification : 6*5 -(4*5 - 4) = 14

 30 - 20 + 4 = 14

 10 + 4 = 14

 14 = 14 - true

Which situation is represented by the equation? 6n + 12 = 2n + 36

Romashka [77]

6n+12=2n+36
We move all terms to the left:
6n+12-(2n+36)=0
We get rid of parentheses
6n-2n-36+12=0
We add all the numbers together, and all the variables
4n-24=0
We move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right
4n=24
n=24/4
n=6
