Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

1.5(x + 4) – 3 = 4.5(x – 2)

Distributive property

1.5x + 6 - 3 = 4.5x - 9

1.5x + 3 = 4.5x - 9

1.5x - 4.5x = -9 -3

-3x = -12

x = 4

Expand

1.5x + 6 - 3 = 4.5x - 9

Simplify 1.5x + 6 - 3 to 1.5x + 3

1.5x + 3 = 4.5x - 9

Subtract 1.5x from both sideds

3 = 4.5x - 9 - 1.5x

Simplify 4.5x - 9 - 1.5x to 3x - 9

3 = 3x - 9

Add 9 to both sides

3 + 9 = 3x

Simplify 3 + 9 to 12

12 = 3x

Divide both sides by 3

12/3 = x

Simplify 12/3 to 4

4 = x

Switch sides

x = 4

Solve this quadratic equation using the quadratic formula. 5 - 10x - 3x2 = 0

Olegator [25]

-3x^2 - 10x + 5 = 0

Quadratic formula:

-b +/- sqrt[b^2 - 4(a)(c)]/2(a)

So. . . 10 +/- sqrt[(10^2) - 4(-3)(5)]/2(-3)

10 +/- sqrt[100+60]/ -6

10 +/- sqrt[160]/-6

Answer:

58 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

So I attached a diagram that illustrates the triangle that is formed. We know an angle, as well as the hypotenuse. We are looking for the height, or in other words the opposite side of the angle. There is a trigonometric function defined as: $sin(\theta) = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$ . Using this we can plug in known values and solve for the opposite side, which I'll simply represent as x.
