Answer:
12 times 5=60 not 70
Step-by-step explanation:
12(5+2y)=4y-(5-9y
60+24y=4y-5-9y
60+24y=-5y-5
29y+60=-5
29y=-65
y=-65/29 or y= about -2.38

Answer:
We can think that the line of the kite is the hypotenuse of a triangle rectangle, and the altitude is one of the cathetus of the triangle.
And we know that it makes an angle of 65° with the horizontal (i guess this is measured between the hypotenuse and the horizontal adjacent to the kite.
This angle is complementary to the top angle of our triangle rectangle, such that A + 65° = 90°
A = 90° - 65° = 25°
Then the altitude of the kite is the adjacent cathetus to this angle.
We can use the relation:
sin(A) = Adjacent cathetus/hypotenuse.
Sin(25°) = X/350ft
Sin(25°)*350ft = X = 147.9m
The equation is 138=300-3x
now solve by first subtracting 300 from each side: -162=-3x
divide each side by -3: x=54
