Answer:
The street light is 20 feet tall.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question depends on a proportion. Keep your height of the object in one ratio and the length of the shadow in the other.
25/x = 75/60 Notice the height of the structure is on the left. The length of the shadow is on the right. Cross multiply
75x = 60 * 25 Combine the right
75x = 1500 Divide by 75
x = 1500/75
x = 20
The street light is 20 feet tall.
Answer: x=0
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply both sides of the equation by 35, the least common multiple of 5,7.
7×4x−5×3x=5×4x+5×5x
Multiply 7 and 4 to get 28.
28x−5×3x=5×4x+5×5x
Multiply −5 and 3 to get −15.
28x−15x=5×4x+5×5x
Combine 28x and −15x to get 13x.
13x=20x+25x
Combine 20x and 25x to get 45x.
13x=45x
Subtract 45x from both sides
13x−45x=0
Combine 13x and −45x to get −32x
−32x=0
Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since −32 is not equal to 0, x must be equal to 0.
X=0
