AB = 30 in and BC = 50 in.

We use Pythagorean theorem to solve this.  Since AN is an altitude, this means that it is perpendicular to BC.  This means BN and AN are the legs of one right triangle, with AB being the hypotenuse:

18²+24² = AB²
324 + 576 = AB²
900 = AB²

Take the square root of both sides:
√900 = √AB²
30 = AB

NC and AN form the legs of the other right triangle, with AC being the hypotenuse:

24²+NC² = 40²
576 + NC² = 1600

Subtract 576 from both sides:
576 + NC² - 576 = 1600 - 576
NC² = 1024

Take the square root of both sides:
√NC² = √1024
NC = 32

BC = BN + NC = 18 + 32 = 50

-8= 3-5(x+6) solving algebraicaily​
SOVA2 [1]

Let's solve your equation step by step

-8=3-5(x+6)

Step 1: simplify both sides of the equation

-8=3-5(x+6)

-8=3+(-5)(x)+(-5(6) (distribute)

-8=3+-5x+-30

-8=(-5x)+(3+-30) (combine like terms)

-8=-5x+-27

-8=-5x-27

Step 2: flip the equation

-5x-27=-8

Step 3: add 27 to both sides

-5x-27+27=-8+27

-5x=19

Step 4: Divide both sides by -5

-5x/-5 = 19/-5

Answer : x= -19/5

Answer: Rs. 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Total expenditure for dance show = Rs. 25000

Profit made except expenditure = Rs. 12,000

Number of people who observed and paid for the show = 370

Amount paid per person will be :

(Total amount or revenue realized / number of observers who paid)

Total revenue realized = (total expenditure + profit made)

Total Revenue realized = Rs.(25,000 + 12,000) = Rs. 37,000

Amount paid per observer = (Rs. 37,000 / 370)

= Rs. 100
