A ​-ft vertical post casts a 12​-in shadow at the same time a nearby cell phone tower casts a ​118-ft shadow. How tall is the cell phone​ tower? The cell phone​ tower's height is
1260 ft.

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18

can you rephrase the question ? it is unclear : -)
