Answer:
A=-8b/9
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Let fertilizer be F
and peat moss be P
since F is proportional to P
F = kP
where, k = constant of proportionality
k = F/P
putting in the values,
k = (3/4) /12
k = 3/4 * 1/12
k = 1/16
Therefore the constant of proportionality is 1/16.
1. Given
2. Same Side Interior Angles Theorem
3. Corresponding Angles Postulate
4. Substitution
Let x + 1.5 be length of segment above left hand
Let 2x be length of segment below left hand
15 = x + 1.5 + 2x
15 = 3x + 1.5
15 - 1.5 = 3x
13.5 = 3x
13.5/3= 3x/3
4.5 = x
x = 4.5
This is the length above the left hand.
2x must be then 4.5*2 = 9 foot
This is the length below the left hand.
Checking
4.5 + 9 + 1.5 = 15 foot
Adding length below left hand & length of left hand to right hand:
9 + 1.5 = 10.5
The right hand is hence 10.5 foot far up the pole.
