Height covered by the plane=h= 500 feet

Distance covered by the plane along the ground=d= 2 mile

Now, convert the mile into feet,

1 mile = 5280 feet

2 mile = 10560 feet

Now, use the formula

h= d tanθ

tanθ= h/d

tanθ= 500/10560

tanθ= 25/528

Take the tan⁻¹ on both side,

θ= tan⁻¹(25/528)

θ =2.71°

For which value of x is the equation 3(x+2)+x=2x+16 true?
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

1) take the first part of the equation and work it by multiplying (x+2) by 3

3(x+2)+x

3x +6+x

2)put the answer you got into the question you were given

3x + 6+x =2x +16

3)group the x variables and the non x variables

3x +x -2x =16 -6

4) Now work the equation you have

3x+x-2x=16-6

4x-2x=16-6

2x=16-6

2x=10

5) you divide both sides by the x variable

2x=10

2x/2 =10/2

x=5

therefore x is 5

7m -- 4 for m = 8<br> Evaluate the following algebraic expression
arsen [322]
I don’t understand the question
If you mean
7m-4
M=8, this is the solution
7(8)-4
56-4
=52
But if you mean
7m- - 4
As in - + - = +
Then this is your answer
7(8)+4
56+4
=60
