Answer:

30 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

set up a proportion of insect height over its shadow equals flower height over its shadow, then cross-multiply

1/.5 = x/15

.5x = 15

x = 30

If you rearrange the equation so w is the independent variable, then what is u?<br><br> -2u+6w=9
Serjik [45]

Answer:

u  = - ( 9-6w)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

to  evaluate for u in the expression -2u+6w=9 is simply to look for a way such that we would express u in terms of w and other variables.

solution

-2u+6w=9

-2u = 9 - 6w

divide both sides by the coefficient of u which is -2

-2u/u = 9 - 6w/-2

u  = - ( 9-6w)/2

therefore the value of u when rearranged in the equation -2u+6w=9 is evaluated to be equals to

u  = - ( 9-6w)/2

Solve this absolute value equation and show all work.
vitfil [10]
I was confused at first until I realized that you'd shared not one, not two, but three questions in one post.  would you please post just one question at a time to avoid this.

I'll focus on your second question only:  Solve <span>3 + |2x - 4| = 15.

Subtr. 3 from both sides.  Result:  |2x - 4| = 12

Divide all terms by 2, to reduce:    |x - 2| = 6

Case 1:  x-2 is already +, so we don't need |    |:

                       x - 2 = 6    =>   x = 8 (first answer)

Case 2:  x-2 is negative, so |2x-4| = -(2x-4) = 6

             Then   -2x + 8 = 6.  Subtr. 8 from both sides:   -2x = -2

               Div both sides by -2:  x = 1 (second answer)

Be sure to check these results by subst. them into the original equation.

Please post your other questions separately.  Thanks and good luck!

The distance between the pair of points (3,5) and (11,11)
statuscvo [17]

Formula: d = √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

d = √(11-3)²+(11-5)²

d = √8²+6²

d = √64+36

d = √100

d = 10

Best of Luck!
