A lamp post is 6 meters high and placed on flat ground. A person 1.6 meters tall stands at a distance of x meters from the base of the post and sees his shadow just touching the lamp post's shadow. Knowing that the person's shadow is 2.4 meters long, calculate the distance from that person to the lamp post.
