Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 2 = x + 8

Subtract x from each side

3x-x - 2 = x-x + 8

2x -2 = 8

Add 2 to each side

2x-2+2 = 8+2

2x = 10

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 =10/2

x = 5

Answer: x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 2 = x + 8- from this, move -2 across the '=', which makes it now a positive 2. It will now look like 3x = x + 10. Now you should move the x across, which will make it negative, so it will now look like 2x = 10. Now all you have to do is divide 10 by 2, and you will get x, which equals 5

A hiker whose eyes are 5.5 feet above the ground stands 25 feet from the base of a redwood tree. She looks up at an angle of 71
Leokris [45]
If you draw out a diagram of the situation, the height of the person is 5.5 feet, standing 25 feet away from the tree. then the person looks up at a 71 degree angle with the top of the tree, it should look like a right triangle on top of a rectangle. 

We know the angle she's looking at (71 degrees) and the side adjacent to the angle (the distance she is away from the tree, 25 feet). Using tangent we can solve for the opposite side. 

tan(71 degrees) = x ÷ 25
25 tan (71 degrees) = x
x is about 72.6 feet 

that's the height from her eyes to the top of the tree. 
To get the height of the tree you add how high above the ground her eyes are (5.5 feet) to x (72.6 feet) 

72.6 + 5.5 = 78.1 feet

that should be the height of the tree
