X^2 - 9....factor
= x^2 - 3^2
= (x+3)(x-3)
Answer:
The distance between the ship at N 25°E and the lighthouse would be 7.26 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete. The complete question should be
The bearing of a lighthouse from a ship is N 37° E. The ship sails 2.5 miles further towards the south. The new bearing is N 25°E. What is the distance between the lighthouse and the ship at the new location?
Given the initial bearing of a lighthouse from the ship is N 37° E. So,
is 37°. We can see from the diagram that
would be
143°.
Also, the new bearing is N 25°E. So,
would be 25°.
Now we can find
. As the sum of the internal angle of a triangle is 180°.

Also, it was given that ship sails 2.5 miles from N 37° E to N 25°E. We can see from the diagram that this distance would be our BC.
And let us assume the distance between the lighthouse and the ship at N 25°E is 
We can apply the sine rule now.

So, the distance between the ship at N 25°E and the lighthouse is 7.26 miles.
Answer: LAST OPTION.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve for the variable "x" from the expression
, you need to follow these steps:
1) You need to multiply both sides of the equation by 3:

2) You need to multiply both sides of the equation by 6:
3) Finally, you can divide both sides of the equation by 15:
