Let’s say it takes time t hours for the interception.
In that time the carrier travels 28t nm west and the helicopter 130t nm.
Now we use the sine rule to find the angle x which lies between the distance 175 and 130t.
sin(x)/28t=sin35/130t. So sin(x)=28sin35/130=14sin35/65=0.1235 and x=7.0964 degrees.
Therefore the helicopter should use a bearing of 35+7.0964=42.0964 degrees north of east or 47.9 degrees east of north approx.

Solve this equation 90x-60y is equal to 68 and 90x-70y is equal to 91​
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

90x - 60y = 68.....multiply by -1

90x - 70y = 91

---------------------------

-90x + 60y = -68 (result of multiplying by -1)

90x - 70y = 91

---------------------------add

-10y = 23

y = -23/10 <===

90x - 60y = 68

90x - 60(-23/10) = 68

90x + 138 = 68

90x = 68 - 138

90x = - 70

x = -70/90

x = -7/9 <=====
