Answer:
1st Picture: d = -16
2nd Picture: g = -13.8
Step-by-step explanation:
1st Picture: Divide both sides by -11 to balance both sides and get the answer.
2nd Picture: Subtract 1.2 from both sides.
Tan(Θ)=(h/distance from base)
Θ=13 degrees, 1mile=5280 ft
tan(13)=(h/5280 ft)
5280tan(13)=h
h=1218.984049
h=1219 ft
This is an exercise you should actually do with real physical objects. The objects don't have to be wood and they don't have to be square for you to be able to arrange them into a rectangular shape. You can cut squares from paper, or use Scrabble™ tiles, poker chips, pennies, M&M™ candies, bottle caps, Legos™, Cheez-It™ crackers, pebbles, or any other objects of similar size and shape.
What you will find is that there are 8 possibilities, corresponding to the number of divisors of 24:
1×24, 2×12, 3×8, 4×6, 6×4, 8×3, 12×2, 24×1
_____
If you make rectangles from numbers of pieces other than 24, you will find that only two rectangles are possible for prime numbers, like 23: 1×23 or 23×1. Even numbers of tiles will all have rectangles of 1×_ and 2×_ (as well as _×1 and _×2).
Doing this sort of playing with physical objects helps you develop number sense that can serve you well later. Don't discount it.
