Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Multiply the 2 and 3 out to the numbers in the parentheses. Don't multiply the 3 out to the -8 because it is outside of the parentheses.

2x-4 = 3x+6-8

Combine the 6 and -8

2x-4 = 3x-2

Subtract 2x from both sides

-4 = x-2

Add 2 to both sides

-2=x

Answer:

b. -36/77

Step-by-step explanation:

As 0 < x < $\pi$ /2 => tan x > 0

As 0< y < $\pi$ /2 => tan y > 0

We have the formula:

$\frac{1}{sin^{2}x } =1 + cot^{2}x$ => $\frac{1}{(8/17)^{2} }$ = $1+cot^{2}x$ => $cot^{2} x=225/64$

As tan x = 1/(cotx) => $tan^{2}x = \frac{1}{cot^{2}x} =\frac{1}{225/64} = \frac{64}{225}$

As tan x > 0 => tan x = 8/15

$\frac{1}{cos^{2}y } = 1+tan^{2}y$ => $\frac{1}{(3/5)^{2} } = 1 + tan^{2} y$ => $tan^{2}y=\frac{16}{9}$

As tan y > 0 => tan y = 4/3

As tan (x-y)= $\frac{tan x - tan y}{1+ tanx * tany}$ $=\frac{(8/15)-(4/3)}{1+(8/15)*(4/3)} = \frac{-36}{77}$

When the son is 8, the father is five times that so 8*5 = 40, difference between their ages is 32

twice as old 32*2 = 64

The father will be 64.

Reika [66]

See the attached diagram.

In the right triangle, x is opposite the 23.6 degree angle, and the adjacent side is 250 m. This suggests using the tangent ratio.

$\frac{x}{250}=\tan 23.6 ^\circ \\ x=250 \cdot \tan 23.6^\circ \approx 109.2$

Finally, to get the height of the tree, add Sarah's height, 1.5 m.

The tree is approximately 110.7m tall.
