Well it depends on what trail it is because they can can all be different lengths
Answer:
C, 11.62 units
Step-by-step explanation:
tan 54° = 
x tan 54° = 16
x = 
x≈11.62468045
x= 11.62
I don't know what the "six-step method" is supposed to be, so I'll just demonstrate the typical method for this problem.
Let <em>x</em> be the amount (in gal) of the 50% antifreeze solution that is required. The new solution will then have a total volume of (<em>x</em> + 60) gal.
Each gal of the 50% solution used contributes 0.5 gal of antifreeze. Similarly, each gal of the 30% solution contributes 0.3 gal of antifreeze. So the new solution will contain (0.5 <em>x</em> + 0.3 * 60) gal = (0.5 <em>x</em> + 18) gal of antifreeze.
We want the concentration of antifreeze to be 40% in the new solution, so we need to have
(0.5 <em>x</em> + 18) / (<em>x</em> + 60) = 0.4
Solve for <em>x</em> :
0.5 <em>x</em> + 18 = 0.4 (<em>x</em> + 60)
0.5 <em>x</em> + 18 = 0.4 <em>x</em> + 24
0.5 <em>x</em> - 0.4 <em>x</em> = 24 - 18
0.1 <em>x</em> = 6
<em>x</em> = 6/0.1 = 60 gal
R-9s=2 add 9s to both sides
r=2+9s making 3r-3s=-10 become:
3(2+9s)-3s=-10 perform indicated multiplication on left side
6+27s-3s=-10 combine like terms on left side
6+24s=-10 subtract 6 from both sides
24s=-16 divide both sides by 24
s=-16/24
s=-2/3, making r-9s=2 become:
r-9(-2/3)=2 perform indicated multiplication on left side
r+6=2 subtract 6 from both sides
r=-4
So s= -2/3 and r= -4
640 minus 400 equals 240 being the profit, if that's what you were asking
