If a 18 ft tall tree casts a 9 ft long shadow
then how tall is an adult giraffe standing near it that casts a 7
ft shadow?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex] \boxed{ \tt{the \: adult \: giraffe \: is \to \: 14 \: ft}}[/tex]

Answer 2

The height of the giraffe standing near it which casts a shadow of 7 feet is 14 feet.

What is Scale Factor?

Scale factor is the ratio of the dimension of the given original object and the dimension of the new object from the original.

Given that,

Actual height of the tree = 18 feet

Height of the shadow = 9 feet

Actual height = 2 × Shadow height

So, here the scale factor is 2.

Given Shadow height of the giraffe = 7 feet

Actual height of the giraffe = 2 ×  height of shadow of the giraffe

                                             = 2 × 7 feet

                                             = 14 feet

Hence the height of the giraffe is 14 feet.

Answers

Answer:

  C  3x +1 = y

Step-by-step explanation:

x-values increase by 1 from row to row.

y-values increase by 3 from row to row.

The slope of the linear function is the ratio of the y-increase to the x-increase:

  m = ∆y/∆x = 3/1 = 3

The only offered choice with an x-coefficient of 3 is ...

  C  3x +1 = y

If you check this against the table entries, you find it fits.

  3(2) +1 = 7

A student claims that the expression “9 times the sum of a number and 13" is translated to the algebraic expression 9n + 13. Is the student correct? If not, what is the correct expression?​

Answers

Answer:

No, the student is not correct. The correct expression is 9(n+13).

Step-by-step explanation:

"9 times the sum of a number and 13" means you must multiply 9 by the sum, not just by the number. 9n + 13 would be "the sum of 9 times a number and 13." Slightly different wording.

Answer:

Sample Response: The student is not correct. He should use parentheses like this 9(n+13). Without the parentheses, it means nine times n plus 13, but should be the sum of n plus 13 multiplied by 9.

Determine the slope of the line that passes through each pair of points. Write in simplest form. (3,8) and (1,5)

Answers

Answer:

y = 3/2x + 7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to find the slope.

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

= 5 - 8 / 1 - 3

= 3/2

The slope is 3/2x.

To find the y-intercept, plug any one of the coordinates into the equation, which is y = 3/2x + b

y = 3/2x + b

8 = 3/2(3) + b

8 = 9/2 + b

7/2 = b

The equation y = 3/2x + 7/2.

B. add 18 to both sides of the equation
c.
divide both sides of the equation by
7
16
D
multiply both sides of the equation by
7

Answers

The first step for solving this equation would be adding -2 to both sides of the equation.

Answer:

A. Add -2 to both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason you need to add -2 to both sides is because if you add -2 to -2 it cancels out and you are left with x=18. But you need to add -2 to 18 too because them the equation won't be equal anymore.

Answers

4x+y=33
X+y=12
Get the y alone, so subtract x by each side to get y= -x+12

Then fill in the equation: 4x + (-x+12)=33, remove the parenthesis and solve to get 3x+12=33. Then subtract 12 from both sides to get 3x=21. Now divide 3x from both sides to get x=7 now, use this x answer for the previous equation, x+y=12. Fill in the x so now it’s (7) + y=12
And then subtract 7 from both sides to get y=5. So for the first slide, x=7 and y=5

For the next slide, you already have y= -x+15. Fill this in for the equation 3x+2y=36. 3x+2(-x+15)=36 distribute to get 3x+-2x+30=36. Subtract the x’s to get an equation of x+30=36. Subtract 30 from both sides to get x=6 and use this for the other equation, y= -x+15 to get y= -6 + 15, which equals y=9. x=6 and y=9

Alex got a iPhone 11 for Christmas as a present. After spending 3 hours on the iPhone Alex decided to walk down the stairs to get a snack in the kitchen, but then he fell down the stairs because he was paying attention to the iPhone.

To be honest, this is a really weird question.  But a spinal cord injury can cost up to 100,000$ a year.  And an iPhone 11 cost around 700$.  It really just depends on what repairence the person got, but if I am wrong then I hope you the best with your question lol.  And since Alex didnt break his phone, you wouldnt count the repairs for the iPhone 11.
