Answer:14x5=70.
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>5a + 2 = 6 - 7a
5a + 7a = 6 - 2
12a = 4
a = 4/12 = 1/3

Using the slope concept, it is found that the thundercloud is 6.43 miles above the ground.
<h3>What is a slope?</h3>
The slope is given by the <u>vertical change divided by the horizontal change</u>, and it's also the tangent of the angle of depression.
In this problem, we have that:
- The vertical distance is the height h.
- The horizontal distance is of 3 miles, as the sound takes 5 seconds to travel 1 mile, and it took 15 seconds.
Hence:
tan(65º) = h/3.
h = 3 x tan(65º)
h = 6.43 miles.
The thundercloud is 6.43 miles above the ground.
