Answer:

5' 6" = 66 inches

6 feet = 72 inches

shadow to actual height ratio = 72 / 66 = 1.0909...

If the tree casts a 20 foot shadow then its height equals

20 / 1.09090909 = 18.33 feet = 18 feet 4 inches

Answer:solve for x

-3x+5y=-15

Add -5y to both sides

-3x+5y+-5y=-15+-5y

-3x=-5y-15

Divide both sides by -3

-3x/-3=-5y-15/-3

x= 5/3 y +5
