X + (x + 2) + ( x + 4) + (x + 6)
----------------------------------- = 15
4
4x + 12
--------- = 15
4
Multiply by 4 on both sides
4x + 12 = 60
subtract 12 from both sides
4x = 48
divide by 4 on each side
x = 12
x + 2 = 14
x + 4 = 16
x + 6 = 18
The elevation of the plane is 3600 ft
Let
- h = elevation of plane,
- d = distance from Marsha's house to spot on ground below plane = 3600 feet and
- Ф = angle of elevation of plane = 45°
From the triangle, we have the trigonometric ratio
tanФ = h/D
<h3>Elevation of the plane</h3>
Making h subject of the formula, we have
h = DtanФ
substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
h = DtanФ
h = 3600 ft × tan45°
h = 3600 ft × 1
h = 3600 ft
So, the elevation of the plane is 3600 ft

You can tell if you make the denominators the same easiest one is 30 for 6 and 5
1/5=6/30
1/6=5/30
now you can see which is bigger
