Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

First u need to distribute the -1 to (x + 4), creating the equation, -8 = -x - 4. Then add the -4 to both sides, and you get, -4 = -x. Then divide by -1 to both sides, and x = 4.

-8=-(x+4)

Pretend that there is a -1 in front of the bracket.

Multiply the bracket by -1

(-1)(x)(-1)(4)

-8=-x-4

Move -4 to the other side. Sign changes from -4 to +4.

-8+4=-x-4+4

-4=-x

Multiply both sides by -1 to get +x.

-4(-1)=(-x)(-1)

x=4

The answer is B. Once you combine the two amounts consumed (which you’d put them in like terms and reduce) you’d subtract the sum from 3

There for
1 1/4 = 1 2/8
1 2/8+7/8 = 1 9/8
1 9/8 = 2 1/8

2 1/8 is the sum of the amount consumed there for,
3- 2 1/8 = 7/8

If you solved with A you would essentially be adding a initial quart of 3 and 1 1 1/4 which assumes you added milk then drank 7/8 of a quart, C assumes you don’t consume any and you have 1 1/4 and 7/8 quarts of milk above the 3 quarts and D would leave you with 1.125 or 1 1/8 there for it is also incorrect.

Answer:

10.99 m

Step-by-step explanation:

✍️What we are basically asked to solve here is to find the distance between C and D.

To find CD, find the length of BC, and BD. Their difference will give us CD.

Thus, BC - BD = CD.

✍️Finding BC using trigonometric ratio formula:

$\theta = 30 + 10 = 40$
