Answer:

b=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

99 = 2(-7b + -3) + 7

Reorder the terms:

99 = 2(-3 + -7b) + 7

99 = (-3 * 2 + -7b * 2) + 7

99 = (-6 + -14b) + 7

Reorder the terms:

99 = -6 + 7 + -14b

Combine like terms: -6 + 7 = 1

99 = 1 + -14b

Solving

99 = 1 + -14b

Solving for variable 'b'.

Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '14b' to each side of the equation.

99 + 14b = 1 + -14b + 14b

Combine like terms: -14b + 14b = 0

99 + 14b = 1 + 0

99 + 14b = 1

Add '-99' to each side of the equation.

99 + -99 + 14b = 1 + -99

Combine like terms: 99 + -99 = 0

0 + 14b = 1 + -99

14b = 1 + -99

Combine like terms: 1 + -99 = -98

14b = -98

Divide each side by '14'.

b = -7

Simplifying

b = -7

2X+15= -3x how do you work this equation

Sphinxa [80]

Answer: $x=-3$

Add 3x to both sides

$2x+15+3x=-3x+3x\\5x+15=0$

Subtract 15 from both sides

$5x+15-15=0-15\\5x=-15$

Divide both sides by 5

$5x/5=-15/5\\x=-3$

A kite is flying 70 feet above the ground and is attached to a string tied to a stake on the ground. The angle of elevation form

frozen [14]

If you draw a diagram of this, your given values of the resulting triangle give you the sides opposite and adjacent of the angle. The formula that uses these sides is tangent.

The tangent of an angle is equal to the ratio of the opposite side over the other non-hypotenuse side (adjacent).

Therefore;

$tan(40)=70/x$
$0.83909963117=70/x$
$0.83909963117x=70$
$x=70/0.83909963117$
$x=83.4227514823$

Where x is the length of the string in feet.
