Answer: 8x+12
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the Distributive Property to get it in it's simplest form
4(2x+3)
(4)(2x)+(4)(3)
8x+12
Answer:
27.2 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's set up a ratio that represents the problem:
Object's Height (ft) : Shadow (ft)
Substitute with the dimensions of the 34 foot pole and its 30 foot shadow.
34 : 30
Find the unit rate:
The unit rate is when one number in a ratio is 1.
Let's make the Shadow equal to one by dividing by 30 on both sides.
Object's Height (ft) : Shadow (ft)
34 : 30
/30 /30
1.13 : 1
Now, let's multiply by 24 on both sides to find the height of the tree.
Multiply:
Object's Height (ft) : Shadow (ft)
1.13 : 1
x24 x24
27.2 : 24
Therefore, the tree is 27.2 feet tall.
Since J is the midpoint of HK, that means HK is split into two sections HJ and JK that are the same length.
1) You are told that the m<span>easure of segment HJ = 9x-2 and that of segment JK = 4x+13. Since you also know they are equal lengths, you can set these equations equal to each other to find the value of x!
HJ = JK
</span>9x-2 = 4x+13
5x = 15
x = 3
2) Now you know x = 3. Plug that into your given equations for HJ and JK to find the length of each segment (or a shortcut would be to find one of them, and then you also know the other is the same length. I'm doing both, just to make sure I don't make a silly mistake!):
HJ = <span>9x-2
</span>HJ = 9(3) - 2
HJ = 27 - 2
HJ = 25
JK = 4x + 13
JK = 4(3) + 13
JK = 12 + 13
JK = 25
3) Finally, the length of HK is just the length of HJ + JK, or HK = 25 + 25 = 50.

Answer: HJ = 25, JK = 25, HK = 50
153 000 = 100 000 + 50 000 + 3 000
