Answer:
63.44 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
tan(68 degrees)= 85/y
y tan (68 degrees)=85
y=85/tan(68 degrees) ( cross multiply)
y = 34.34 feet
tan (41 degrees)=85/x+y
(x+y)tan(41 degrees)=85
x+y=85/tan 41 degrees
x=85/tan(41 degrees) - y
x= 85/tan (41 degrees)-(34.34) (cross multiply)
Therefore, Travis stepped back 63.44 feet to gain a better view!
Fill in the slope and that point in y=mx+b
-14=6(-12) + b
-14= -72 + b
b= 58
Y=6x + 58
3n-5=-48-40n
Move -40n to the other side. Sign changes from -40n to +40n.
3n+40n-5=-48= -48-40n+40n
3n+40n-5=-48
Move -5 to the other side.
3n+40n-5+5=-48+5
3n+40n=-43
43n=-43
Divide by 43 for both sides
43n/43=-43/43
n=-1
Answer: n=-1
