Answer:

simplifies to -2x -17 = 5x -10
x = -1 . . . . the solution

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(x+5)-7=3x+2(x-5) . . . . starting equation

-2x -10 -7 = 3x +2x -10 . . . eliminate parentheses using the distributive property

-2x -17 = 5x -10 . . . . . . . . . collect terms

-7 -2x = 5x . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 10

-7 = 7x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 2x

-1 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 7

11. Rocco and Biff are two koalas sitting at the

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Biff's tree is 14 m off the ground and Rocco's tree is 7 m off the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of Biff's tree be represented by x, so that the height of Rocco's tree is $\frac{x}{2}$ .

Draw a straight line from Rocco's point of view to a point t to the middle of Biff's tree. This line divides x into two equal parts, and the angle is divided into $35^{0}$ each.

By alternate angle property,

Tan $35^{0}$ = $\frac{\frac{x}{2} }{10}$

$\frac{x}{2}$ = Tan $35^{0}$ × 10

= 7.00021

⇒ x = 2 × 7.0021

= 14. 0042

x = 14

Therefore, Biff's tree is 14 m off the ground and Rocco's tree is 7 m off the ground.
