Answer:
x ≈ 25.4 Km
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle on the right
tan54° = 
= 
( multiply both sides by 17 )
17 × tan54° = opp , thus
opp ≈ 23.4
-------------------------------------------
Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle on the left
cos23° = 
= 
( multiply both sides by x )
x × cos23° = 23.4 ( divide both sides by cos23° )
x = 
≈ 25. 4 Km ( to the nearest tenth )
√z = 13 - 8
√z = 5
z = 5²
z = 25
In this case the z can be any number, however z cannot be less than 0 and that is the restriction. (for example; √-1 = irrational number, cannot be solved.)
(x+4)(x+4+1) = (x+1)(x+1+11)
(x+4)(x+5) = (x+1)(x+12)
x^2 + 4x+5x+20=x^2+x+12x+12
9x + 20 = 13x + 12
13x-9x = 20-12
4x = 8
x = 2
Rachel sold more because 9/10 is equal to 0.90 and 5/8 is equal to 0.625.
