May be the vertical distance is 300.
and let horizontal distance be h.
angle of depression (from the balloon) to edge of cliff = 40.5°
so,
tan(40.5)=h/300
h= 300*tan(40.5)
since, tan(45°)=1, tan(40.5°) must be smaller than one as tan(x) is a increasing function.
so 300*tan(40.5°) must be less than 300
therefore the horizontal distance is 256 ft

- 2x – 117 = = 10x + 59
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{x=-\dfrac{44}{3}=-14\dfrac{2}{3}}

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x-117=10x+59\qquad|\text{add 177 to both sides and subtract}\ 10x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\-2x-10x-117+117=10x-10x+59+117\\\\-12x=176\qquad|\text{divide both sides by (-12)}\\\\\dfrac{-12x}{-12}=\dfrac{176}{-12}\\\\x=-\dfrac{176:4}{12:4}\\\\x=-\dfrac{44}{3}
