Answer:
The answer to your question is the height of the lamp is 18.2 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Street lamp shadow = 31.5 ft
Street sign height = 8 ft
Street sign shadow = 14 ft
Street lamp height = x
Process
1.- To find the height of the lamp use proportions. In this kind of problem, we do not look for the length, but the shadow.
Street lamp height/street lamp shadow = street sign height/street sign
shadow
Substitution
x / 31.5 = 8 / 14
Solve for x
x = (31.5)(8) / 14
Simplification
x = 254.4 / 14
Result
x = 18.2 ft

Bill has 12 cards. I figured this out by making a table and drawing an equation:
B = hourly rate for babysitting and w = hourly rate for working at water park
3b + 10w = 109...multiply by -8
8b + 12w = 177...multiply by 3
----------------------
-24b - 80w = - 872 (result of multiplying by -8)
24b + 36w = 531 (result of multiplying by 3)
---------------------add
- 44w = - 341
w = -341/-44
w = 7.75 <=== hourly rate for working at water park
3b + 10w = 109
3b + 10(7.75) = 109
3b + 77.50 = 109
3b = 109 - 77.50
3b = 31.50
b = 31.50/3
b = 10.50 <== hourly rate for babysitting
