A diagram would surely help here.  But imagine that you stand at spot A and someone finds that your distance from the base of the building is 42 feet.  Call this point B.
 
Imagine a vertical line from that spot, straight up.  Label the top of this line C.

The acute angle at A is 67 degrees.  You want to find the height of the building, which would be the length of the "opposite side of triangle ABC."
The length of the "adjacent side of triangle ABC" would be 42 feet.

We don't know the length of the hypotenuse, altho' we could easilyl calculate it using the Pyth. Them.

We choose the tangent function to solve for the height of the building (which is the length of the opposite side. 

                                                                         height
By definition, tangent (67 degrees) = -------------------------------------
                                                                       42 feet

Find tan 67.  Multiply your result by 42 feet.  This product is the height of the building.

Solve the equation for y: -2y=-x+7
vitfil [10]

To solve for a variable means to ISOLATE the variable on one side of the equation. To do so, divide both sides by the coefficient of y.

Look:

2y/2 = (-x+7)/2

Answer: y = (-x + 7)/2

The answer can also be written as

y = -(x/2) + (7/2)

Both answers mean the same thing.

Maslowich

Answer:

$2.31 / lb

Step-by-step explanation:

If Vector bought 15.6 lbs of paintballs, and altogether the balls cost $35.99.

If we want to find out how much the paintballs cost per pound, we need to  divide out the cost

$35.99 / 15.6 lbs

2.307 $/lb

We can round this to $2.31 / lb
