Expand -3(2x-4) with the distributive property
-3(2x-4)=2x*-3-4*-3=-6x+12
Substitute this back in to the original statement
-6x+12+8x-8=2x+4

Hope this helps!

alekssr [168]

Answer:

The angle of depression from the top of a cruise ship to the top of a sailboat is 22. Sitting above water, the cruise ship is 23

dusya [7]

Answer:

The distance between the cruise ship and the sail boat is 517 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cruise ship is 236 feet tall, and the sailboat is 236 tall; this means the distance between the top of the cruise ship and the top of the sail boat is

236 feet - 27 feet = 209 feet.

We also know that the angel of depression from the top of the cruise ship to the bottom of the cruise ship is 22°. This forms a right triangle as shown in the figure attached.

Now from trigonometry we get:

$tan \: \theta = \dfrac{209}{d}$
