Step-by-step explanation:
 x+3=8 
 8-5=3 so x=5
 7+5=12 / 12-7=5
 12-5=7 
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:
1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm going to try to explain this as easy as possible. What I did was take the original shape and divide it by the new shape. For this question, I solved it by dividing 32(the original base) by 4(the new base) and got 8. So the scale factor of the reduction was 1/8.
 
        
             
        
        
        
1) y=53
2)53
21 is 2 thirds of 32 so you add them together and get 53. Also Y=Cost of last years trip which we determined is $53
        
             
        
        
        
From the right triangle formed, the adjacent side to the angle of elevation is 5 miles and the vertical change in elevation is the opposite side. From the trigonometric function, tangent of an angle,
                             tan 12° = x / 5 miles
The value of x from the equation is 1.06 miles. Thus, the vertical change in elevation is 1.06 miles.
