Absolutely not because
if you see as fraction
8/7 and 15/16 is not equal at all
if it had to be equal if should've been 16/14
The solutions for ‘x’ are 2 and -5
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Given equation:

Since the base on both sides as ‘12’ are the same, we can write it as



Often, the value of x is easiest to solve by
by factoring a square factor, setting each factor to zero, and then isolating each factor. Whereas sometimes the equation is too awkward or doesn't matter at all, or you just don't feel like factoring.
<u>The Quadratic Formula:</u> For
, the values of x which are the solutions of the equation are given by:

Where, a = 1, b = 3 and c = -10



So, the solutions for ‘x’ are


The solutions for ‘x’ are 2 and -5
Answer:
x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
-5(-x - 1) + 4x – 1= 49
Distribute
5x +5 +4x -1 = 49
Combine like terms
9x +4 = 49
Subtract 4 from each side
9x+4-4 = 49-4
9x = 45
Divide by 9
9x/9 =45/9
x = 5
We use the proportion for this case the pole and the tree with their shadows has the same shape forming a right triangle.
We use the ratio of the two triangles and equate them as
h1/s1 = h2/s2
where
h1 and s1 are the height and the length of a shadow of the pole,
and the other h2 and s2 are for the tree
Identify all the given values.
5 ft / 2 ft = (h2) / 10 ft
h2 = 25 ft
Therefore the height of the tree "h2" is 25 ft.
