Answer:

\large\boxed{x=-\dfrac{1}{5}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\dfrac{a-x}{x-a}=5x\\\\\dfrac{(a-x)}{-(a-x)}=5x\qquad\text{cancel}\ (a-x)\\\\-1=5x\qquad\text{divide both sides by 5}\\\\-\dfrac{1}{5}=\dfrac{5x}{5}\to\boxed{x=-\dfrac{1}{5}}

Answer:

v = 25.98

Step-by-step explanation:

You could do this a number of ways. Some are much longer than others. The shortest way is to use the tangent.

Formula

Tan(theta) = opposite / adjacent

Givens

Theta = 30o

Opposite = 15 km

Adjacent = x

Solution

tan(30) = 15 / v                       Multiply both sides by v

v*tan(30) = 15                         Divide by tan(30)

v = 15/tan(30)

tan(30) = 0.5774

v = 15 / 0.5774

v = 25.98
