Answer:

6.04 km

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image attached, both triangles form are similar to each other because their corresponding angles are equal, therefore they are equiangular triangles. equiangular triangles have the same shape but different sizes and the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal.

Therefore since their corresponding sides are equal we can calculate the distance from the main gate to Manatee Springs. It is given by:

$\frac{3500\ yards}{2000\ yards} = \frac{4200\ yards}{x}\\ x= \frac{4200\ yard*2000\ yards}{3500\ yards}=2400\ yards$

x = 2400 yards.

The distance from the main gate to Manatee Springs = x + 4200 yards = 2400 + 4200 = 6600 yards

The distance from the main gate to Manatee Springs = 6600 yards = (6600 * 0.0009144) km = 6.04 km

The distance from the main gate to Manatee Springs = 6.04 km

What value of x is in the solution set of 2(3x-1) ≥4x-6

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x\geq-2\to x\in[-2,\ \infty)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2(3x-1)\geq4x-6\qquad\text{use distributive property}\ a(b-c)=ab-ac\\\\(2)(3x)-(2)(1)\geq4x-6\\\\6x-2\geq4x-6\qquad\text{add 2 to both sides}\\\\6x\geq4x-4\qquad\text{subtract 4x from both sides}\\\\2x\geq-4\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\x\geq-2$
