An equation is formed of two equal expressions. The value of x and y is 17 and 20, respectively. Thus, the correct option is D.

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

An equation is formed when two equal expressions are equated together with the help of an equal sign '='.

Solving the first equation for y,

4x - 3y = 8

-3y = 8 - 4x

y = (8-4x)/(-3)

Solving the second equation for y,

5x - 4y = 5

-4y = 5 - 5x

y = (5 - 5x)/(-4)

Equate the value of y,

y = y

(8-4x)/(-3) = (5 - 5x)/(-4)

-32 + 16x = -15 + 15x

16x - 15x = -15 + 32

x = 17

Substitute the value of x in any one of the equation,

4x - 3y = 8

4(17) - 3y = 8

68 - 3y = 8

-3y = -60

y = 20

Hence, the value of x and y is 17 and 20, respectively. Thus, the correct option is D.

A safety regulation states that the maximum angle of elevation for a rescue ladder is 72°. A fire department's longest ladder is

Julli [10]

Answer:

The maximum safe rescue height is 104.6 feet above the height of the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider a triangle ABC where C is the point where the rescue ladder is standing and AB be the building and Ladder making an angle of 72° as shown.

We have to find the height of the building.

Let x be the height of building

Using Trigonometric ratio,

$\sin C=\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

$\sin 72^{\circ}=\frac{AB}{BC}$

$\sin 72^{\circ}=\frac{x}{110}$

$x=110 \times \sin 72^{\circ}$

$x=104.6$

So, the maximum safe rescue height is 104.6 feet above the height of

the ground.

gulaghasi [49]

Each tweet would cost between 1 and 140 pennies you can write that as an inequality [1 ≤ x ≤ 140] Since you can't tweet 0 characters or above 140.

if you want to change it to pounds divide by 100.

A) 1 ≤ x ≤ 140

B) Each character costs a penny, you can't tweet less than 1 character or above 140.
