The height of the taller building is 18.6 meters

<h3>How to find the side of a right triangle?</h3>

A right triangle has one of its angles as 90 degrees. The side of a right angle triangle can be found using trigonometric ratios.

Therefore, the height of the taller building is the sum of the height of the smaller building and upper part of the taller building.

tan 53 = opposite / adjacent

tan 53 = x / 10

cross multiply

x = 10 tan 53

x = 10 × 1.32704482162

x = 13.2704482162

x = 13.3 m

tan 28 = y / 10

y = 10 tan 28

y = 5.31709431661

y = 5.3

Therefore, the height of the taller building is 13.3 + 5.3 = 18.6 meters.

5y-x=10 solve for y
shusha [124]
5y-x=10\\\\ 5y=10+x \ |:5 \ Both \ sides \\\\ y=\frac{10}{5}+\frac{x}{5}\\\\ y=2+\frac{x}{5}

because
5y-x=5(2+\frac{x}{5})-x=5\cdot 2 +\frac{x}{\not5}\cdot 5 - x= 10+x-x=10

Which of the following equations has no solution?
Ronch [10]

Answer:

B and D

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations with the same x- term on both sides will have no solution

A

4x - 13 = 5(x + 4) = 5x + 20

4x ≠ 5x

This equation has a solution

B

5(3 + 2x) = 10x + 4

15 + 10x = 10x + 4

10x on both sides ⇒ no solution

C

2(3 - 5x) = 8(x + 1)

6 - 10x = 8x + 8

- 10x ≠ 8x

This equation has a solution

D

9x - 6 = 3(3x - 2) = 9x - 6

9x on both sides ⇒ no solution

Andrea spent a total of $43.87 on new clothes at a clothing store. She bought 1 pair of sandals for $8, 2 t-shirts for $9.49 eac
Misha Larkins [42]
43.87 - 8 = 35.87  (sandals)
9.49 + 9.49 = 18.98 ( for two t-shirts)
35.87 - 18.98 = 16.89 (t-shirts)
16.89 - 2.87 = 14.02 (taxes) 
Andrea payed $14.02 for a pair of jeans
