Answer:
The vertical height is 
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
In the right triangle ABC
see the attached figure
To find the height h apply the Pythagoras Theorem

we have



substitute




Explanation: Just like any of your two-step equations,
in this inequality, start by isolating the x term which in this
case is -3x by subtracting 5 from both sides.
That leaves you with -3x < -24.
To get x by itself, divide both sides by -3 but watch out.
When you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a
negative number, you must switch the direction of the inequality sign.
So we have x < 8 and put your final answer in
set notation and it look like this → {x: x < 8}.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Solutions are -10 and 26
Step-by-step explanation:
( - the abolute sign I'm using
( x - 8 ) + 2 = 20
( x - 8 ) = 18
x - 8 = 18 (postive case)
x - 8 + 8 = 18 + 8
x = 26
( x - 8 ) = 18
x - 8 = -18 (negative case)
x - 8 + 8 = -18 + 8
x = -10
