<h3>
Answer: B. 781.6 feet approximately</h3>
=======================================================
Work Shown:
The horizontal portion is 400+166 = 566 feet. Label this as 'a', so a = 566. The vertical side is unknown, so b = x. The hypotenuse is c = 965
Use the pythagorean theorem
a^2+b^2 = c^2
566^2+x^2 = 965^2
x^2 = 965^2 - 566^2
x = sqrt( 965^2 - 566^2 )
x = 781.58108984289 which is approximate
x = 781.6 feet when rounding to one decimal place
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
At the start of the day there are g pounds of gravel in the quarry.
Then it says that there were 300 pounds added to the mound, so at this point the pounds of gravel in the mound are now g+300.
Then two orders of 700 pounds are sold and removed from the mound. That means they removed 700 pounds from the mound 2 times. Therefore at this point the pounds of gravel in the mound are now g+300-700-700.
Then it says that at this point, the amount of pounds in the mound are 1500. Hence we get
To solve for g we just add 700 two times to both sides of the equation, and subtract 300 from both sides of the equation, getting:
And so

Answer:
x=17, x=-7
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 :
Rearrange this Absolute Value Equation
Absolute value equalitiy entered
|x-5|-2 = 10
Another term is moved / added to the right hand side.
|x-5| = 12
Step 2 :
Clear the Absolute Value Bars
Clear the absolute-value bars by splitting the equation into its two cases, one for the Positive case and the other for the Negative case.
The Absolute Value term is |x-5|
For the Negative case we'll use -(x-5)
For the Positive case we'll use (x-5)
Step 3 :
Solve the Negative Case
-(x-5) = 12
Multiply
-x+5 = 12
Rearrange and Add up
-x = 7
Multiply both sides by (-1)
x = -7
Which is the solution for the Negative Case
Step 4 :
Solve the Positive Case
(x-5) = 12
Rearrange and Add up
x = 17
Which is the solution for the Positive Case
Step 5 :
Wrap up the solution
x=-7
x=17
