16+5x =8x-5

Reorder the terms
16+5x = -5+8x
Solving for variable for x

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add -8x to each side of the equation.
16+ -3x = -5 + 8x + -8x

Combine like terms: 5x + -8x=-3x
16+-3x = -5 + 8x + -8x

Combine like terms: 8x + -8x = 0
16+-3x = -5 + 0
16+ -3x = -5

Add -16 to each side of the equation
16+-16 + -3x = -5 + 16

Combine like terms: 16+ -16 = 0
0 + -3x =-5 + -16
-3x = -5 + -16

combine like terms: -5 + -16 = -21
-3x = -21
Divide each side by -3
x=7

A ladder leans against the side of a house. The angle of elevation of the ladder is 68° when the bottom of the ladder is 16 it f
choli [55]

Answer:

The length of the ladder  = 6.5077 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given A ladder leans against the side of a house

Given the angle of elevation of the ladder is 68° when the bottom of the ladder is 16 ft from the side of the house

Let 'C' be the point of observation.

Given CA= 16 ft

 From right angle triangle

     

     

     x = 16 × cos 68°

    x = 16 × 0.4067

    x = 6.5077

  x = 6.5 ft

The length of the ladder = 6.5 ft

In engineering, equilateral triangles can support the most weight and so are commonly found in the design of bridges and buildin
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

60°

Step-by-step explanation:

Am equilateral triangle is a triangle that has all its sides and angles equal. Note that an equilateral triangle has 3 sides and angles.

Let the angles be a, b and c

The sum of angle in a triangle is 180°, hence;

a+b+c = 180°

Since a = b = c

The equation becomes;

a+a+a = 180°

3a = 180

a = 180/3

a = 60°

Hence the measure of the angles of an equilateral triangle is 60° for the three angles.
