The distance from the base of the telephone pole to Curtis is about 15 feet.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more number and variables.

Trigonometric ratio is used to show the relationship between the sides and angles of a right angled triangle.

Let d represent the distance from the base of the telephone pole to Curtis, hence:

tan(51.4) = (24 - 5.2) / d

d = 15 feet

The distance from the base of the telephone pole to Curtis is about 15 feet.

I need help with this math problem! Thanks!<br><br> -8 = -( x +4)
Damm [24]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

If the lonely negative sign infront of the brackets is confusing, it can be rewritten as -1.

To solve, simplify by expanding then isolate x.

-8 = -( x +4)

-8 = -1 ( x +4)       Distribute over brackets by changing the each term's sign

-8 = -x - 4            Start isolating x by moving everything to the other side

-8 +4  = -x -4 + 4        Add 4 to both sides so it cancels out on the right

-4  = -x

-4  = -1x           <= -x is the same at -1x

-4/-1  = -x/-1     <=divide both sides by negative 1

4 = x

x = 4      <= usually we write the variable on the left side
