Keenly snakelike smells an kelsmeml salesmen smell. Skkensens.
<span>y=−3x+2</span> is a linear equation in slope-intercept form with
slope <span>m=<span>(−3)</span></span>
(and y-intercept <span>=2</span>)
We want the equation of a line with slope <span>m=<span>(−3)</span></span> through the point <span>(<span>−2</span>,<span>−8</span>)</span>
Using the point-slope linear equation form:
<span><span>(y−<span>(−8)</span>)</span>=<span>(−3)</span><span>(x−<span>(−2)</span>)</span></span>
Simplifying
<span>y+8=−3x−6</span>
or, in standard form
<span>3x+y=−<span>14</span></span>
Make a ratio:
<span>
Make sure shadow is in same location on both fractions (either numerator or denominator) </span>
x/90=5/8
Cross multiply:
8x=90x5
8x=450
<span>
x=56.25 feet </span>
Therefore, the approximate height of the building to the nearest foot would be 56.25 feet.
<span>
That makes sense, too, because the woman's shadow is taller than she is, but is less than double her height. </span>The building shadow is taller than the building, but it's less than double the height of the building.
I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we will first expand the expression using the distributive rule:
Therefore:
Simplify:
Add up like terms:
58=7/4x
Multiply both sides by 4 so the fraction cancels out:
232=7x
Divide both sides by 7:
x=33.14 (rounded)
Hope this helps :)
