tan(72)= \frac{y}{x}  ; tan(55)= \frac{y}{2.2 + x}
y=xtan(72);y=(2.2+x)tan(55)
So we are to merge the two equations into one, since both of the equations are equal to y. a = b, b = c therefore, a = c.
xtan(72)=2.2tan(55)+xtan(55)
We are to isolate x.
x[tan(72)-tan(55)]=2.2tan(55)
x=\frac{2.2tan(55)}{tan(72)-tan(55)}
The value of x is approximately, 1.9047m
Then, substitute the value of x from y=xtan(72)
y=1.9047tan(72)
y = 5.862m
Round up, then the answer would be D.

What is the quotient when x3 − 5x2 + 3x − 8 is divided by x − 3?
brilliants [131]
X^3 - 5x^2 + 3x - 8/x - 3
Steps
First, divide x^3 - 5x^2 + 3x - 8/x - 3: x^3 - 5x^2 + 3x - 8/x - 3 = x^2 + -2x^2 + 3x -8/x - 3
= x^2 + -2x^2 + 3x - 8/x - 3
Second, divide -2x^2 + 3x - 8/x - 3: -2x^2 + 3x - 8/x - 3 = -2x + -3x - 8/x - 3
= x^2 - 2x + -3x - 8/x - 3
Third, divide -3x - 8/x - 3: -3x - 8/x - 3 = -3 + -17/x - 3
= x^2 - 2x - 3 + -17/x - 3
Lastly, simplify
= x^2 - 2x - 3 - 17/x - 3

Answer:

total kids in the camp = 300

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of kids in the camp be x

from the above situation, we get

=》70% of all kids in the camp is 210

=》

\frac{70}{100}  \times x = 210

=》

x =  210 \times  \frac{100}{70}

=》

x = 3 \times 100

=》

x = 300
