A 24ft flagpole has a shadow of 9ft. A soldier standing next to the flagpole has a shadow of 2.25 feet. How tall is the soldier?

6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the hight of the soldier be x

=

x = (24×2.25)/9 = 6ft

5x+40

5(x + 8)

7x - 49

7(x - 7)

18x + 9

9(2x + 1)

15x - 10

5(3x - 2)

step-by-step explanation:

for number one all you have to do is factor 5 out of 5x + 40

for number 2 factor 7 out of 7x - 49

for number three factor 9 out of 18x + 9

for number four factor 5 out of 15x - 10
