Answer:

The height of the lighthouse is approximately 166.6 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the lighthouse be represented by s, then;

Tan 48° = (opposite) ÷ (adjacent)

Tan 48° = s ÷ 150

⇒ s = 150 × Tan 48°

      = 150 × 1.1106

     = 166.59

s ≅ 166.6 feet

Therefore, the height of the lighthouse is approximately 166.6 feet.

Number the tables as follows:

1  2
3  4

Eliminate 3 and 4 immediately, because for x = 2 the y values are wrong (3 and 1).

In tables 1 and 2, the input (1) produces the correct output (-1).

So we have to determine which table agrees 100% with the system of equations given.

Comparing tables 1 and 2, row by row, we see that their contents are the same EXCEPT for the first rows.  So focus on determing which of those 2 rows displays values that satisfy both given equations.

First I looked at y=2x-5, and subst. -1 for x.  I got -7, which is correct in table 1 but not in table 2 (where the value would be -13).

Thus, table 1 correct represents the solution of the system of equations.

Work the following financial transactions. Your station charges $15.95 for a lubrication job. As a promotion you sell six coupon
liq [111]

<u>Answer:</u>

16.4%

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We know that a station charges $15.95 for a lubrication job and as a promotion sell six coupons were sold for lubrication jobs for $80.

We are to find the percentage discount that was being offered on purchase of 6 coupon lube book.

Original price of 6 coupons = 6 × 15.95 = $95.7

Difference in prices = 95.7 - 80 = $15.7

Percentage discount = 15.7/95.7 = 16.4%
