Mathematics

Step-by-step explanation:

an object and its shadow create a right-angled triangle.

2 objects and their shadows create 2 similar right-angled triangles.

that means the angles are the same, and the side lengths of one triangle all correlate with the corresponding side lengths of the other triangle via the same factor.

so,

42 × f = 6

f = 6/42 = 1/7

the length of Joel's shadow is then

20 × f = 20 × 1/7 = 2.857142857... ft

A(a-bx)/x=2/3<br> PLEASE
RSB [31]

Answer:

This cannot be solved but it can be simplified

first we open the bracket

so we have

a²- abx/x = 2/3

next we cross multiply so it will be 3(a² - abx) = 2x

we get

3a² - 3abx = 2x

Next we factorise so we can get

3a(a-bx) =2x

I dont know what exactly you where asked but I hop this helps

work it out "the equation 1.5r + 15=2.25r represents the number r of movies u must rent to spend the same amount at each movie s
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

  20

Step-by-step explanation:

Your equation is correct. To solve it subtract 1.5r from both sides and divide by the resulting coefficient of r.

  15 = 0.75r

  15/0.75 = r = 20

You must rent 20 movies for the costs to be the same.
