Answer:

The wire is approximately 42feet long

Step-by-step explanation:

We can mentally sketch out the shape that is formed between the guy wire and the antenna tower. This is simply a right-angled triangle with the opposite side being the height of the antenna (30 feet). The adjacent side is the distance on the ground between the point where the wire was fastened and the base of the antenna.

The hypotenuse side is the length of the wire we are looking for.

Parameters are given as:

Opposite : 30ft

Adjacent: 30ft

Hypotenuse: x feet

The hypotenuse = \sqrt{opp^2 + adj^2}

Hypotenuse =\sqrt{30^2+ 30^2} \approx 42ft

A, 4x= -28
netineya [11]

Answer:

A. x = -7, B. x = -8, C. x = 9, D. x = 2, E. x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

A. 4x= -28

Divide both sides by 4.

\frac{4x}{4\\}=\frac{-28}{4}. x= -7

B. x- -6= -2 ->  x+6= -2

Subtraction 6 to both sides.

x- +6-6= -2-6,  x= -8

C. -x+= -9 -> x= 9

D. -3x+7=1

Subtraction 7 to both sides.

-3x+7-7 =1-7 , -3x=-6

Divide both sides by -3.

\frac{-3x}{-3} = \frac{-6}{-3}, x= 2

E. 25x+-11= -86 -> 25x-11= -86

Add 11 to both sides.

25x-11+11= -86+11, 25x= -75

Divide both sides by 25.

\frac{25x}{25} = \frac{-75}{25}, x= -3

2. 2x+9= -15

Subtraction 9 to both sides.

2x+9-9= -15-9,  2x= -24

Divide both sides by 2.

\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{24}{2} ,  x= 12

I don't think there's an answer.

I hope it helps you!
