We have been given that Wally wants to determine the height of a statue that casts a 164-inch shadow by comparing it to his own height and shadow length. Wally is 68 inches tall, casts a shadow that is 41 inches in length.

We will use proportions to solve for the height of the statue because proportions state that ratio between two proportional quantities is same.

$\frac{\text{Height of statue}}{\text{Shadow of statue}}=\frac{\text{Height of Wally}}{\text{Shadow of Wally}}$

Upon substituting our given values in above equation, we will get:

$\frac{\text{Height of statue}}{\text{164 cm}}=\frac{\text{68 inch}}{\text{41 inch}}$

$\frac{\text{Height of statue}}{\text{164 cm}}\times \text{164 cm}=\frac{\text{68 inch}}{\text{41 inch}}\times \text{164 cm}$

$\text{Height of statue}=\frac{\text{68 inch}}{1}\times 4$

$\text{Height of statue}=272\text{ inches}$

Therefore, the height of the statue is 272 inches.

Write a real-world application problem such that the equation to be formed to solve the problem is

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

X=25

Step-by-step explanation:

Remove parentheses

7x - 5x - 40= 10

Merge the similar terms

2x - 40= 10

Constantly move to the right side and change characters

2x = 10 + 40

Addition

2x = 50

Divide both sides of the equation by 2

x = 25
