Answer:
x= 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
simplify so you can isolate x quicker: 2x-5=5x-6
subtract 2x from both sides: -5=3x-6
add 6 to both sides: 1=3x
divide both side by the 3 to isolate x: 1/3=x
Answer: the eastbound train had travelled 12 miles
Explanation: using Pythagoras theorem, we know that
X^2 = a^2 + b^2
Where ^ stands for raised to power.
Let
a stand for the train going towards North and
b stands for the train going towards east.
X stands for the total distance between train a and b = 20 miles.
By Pythagoras rule
X^2 = a^2 + b^2
20^2 = 16^2 + b^2
400 = 256 + b^2 so that
b^2 = 400 - 256 = 144
b = √144
b = 12 miles.

Answer:
193.53 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Please see the diagram for understanding of how the angles were derived,
Applying Alternate Angles, ABO =77 degrees
The bearing from B to C is 192=180+12 degrees
Subtracting 12 from 77, we obtain the angle at B as 65 degrees.
We want to determine the boat's distance from its starting point.
In the diagram, this is the line AC.
Applying Law of Cosines:

The distance of the boat from its starting point is 193.53 miles (correct to 2 decimal places).
