The distance of plane from the origin is 357.14 miles

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

distance traveled southwards, y = 600 miles

Distance traveled east of south, z = 250 miles

Angle, θ = 35°

Distance of plane from the origin, x = ?

The figure is attached for reference:

tan θ = Perpendicular / base

tan θ = distance travelled east of south / x

tan 35° = 250 / x

we know,

tan 35° = 0.7

So,

0.7 = \frac{250}{x} \\\\x = \frac{250}{0.7} \\\\x = 357.14 miles

Therefore, the distance of the plane from the origin is 357.14 miles

Her senior year of college, Giselle decides to live off campus. In order to cover rent, she wants to get a job as a waitress.
SCORPION-xisa [38]
She would have to work at least 12 hours.

At Chili’s, she would be paid 11.75x + 33 per week, with x being the number of hours she worked.

At the Cheesecake Factory, Giselle would be paid 14.50x per week, with x being how many hours she worked.

We want to know how many hours Gisele would have to work for her pay at the Cheesecake Factory to be more than her pay at Chili’s

The inequality 11.75x + 33 < 14.50x is what has to be set up to solve the problem. At how many hours will the pay on the left be less than the pay on the right?

11.75x + 33 < 14.50x
33 < 2.75x
12 < x

So Giselle has to work greater 12 hours a week for her to make more money at the Cheesecake Factory.

-2(x - 5) = -14 PLEASEEEEE HELPPPPPP
juin [17]
Okay so you need to start off by using the distributive property, meaning you are going to multiply -2 by both items within the parentheses. this gives you -2x + 10 = -14. from here you want to isolate x, so you’ll subtract both sides by 10 to move it to the other side. this gives you -2x=-24. then you’ll divide both sides by -2 to completely isolate x. this gives you x=12. does that make sense?
