x=
34
/3 thats what I got 34/3=11.333333
The first part of the second line, she left the -5 there. The correct work and solution should be this:
5(2x-1)-3x=5x+9
<span><span>7x</span>−5</span>=<span><span>5x</span>+<span>9
</span></span>2x-5=9
2x=14
x=7
For the answer to the question above, this is a right triangle problem using the tangent function.
<span>Tan(x) = Opposite (O) / Adjacent (A) </span>
<span>x = 40 degrees </span>
<span>A = 30 ft </span>
<span>Solve for O </span>
<span>O= Tan (x) * A </span>
<span>O = Tan (40) * 30 </span>
<span>Use your calculator or whatever method to get the tangent of 40 degrees (which is .84) </span>
<span>O = .84 * 30 </span>
<span>O = 25.2 Ft</span>
