Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Rearrange equation by making x's on one side and numbers on the other
2x - x = 9 - 8
x = 1

Answer:
2 1/2 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythagorean theorem is not useful in this problem.
__
If you reflect the triangle over the vertical line, you find that line to be the altitude of an equilateral triangle. That is, all of the vertex angles are 60°.
The base of that equilateral triangle is necessarily twice the length of the base of the triangle shown. All sides of the equilateral triangle are the same length, so all are 5 ft. The base of the triangle shown is half that.
The base (short leg) of the triangle shown is 2 1/2 feet.
_____
Since angles are given, this can be solved using trigonometry. The short leg will be (5 ft)·cos(60°) = (5 ft)(0.5) = 2.5 ft. (The cosine of 60° is one of the few exact rational values of trig functions of exact angles measured in degrees.)
This forms a right angled triangle and Ralph flies down the hypotenuse x,
so using trigonometry:-
sin 59 = 12.4 / x
x = 12.4 / sin 59
= 14.47 feet to nearest hundredth.
The quotient is defined and rational,
but it's not an integer.
It's -1/11 .
