Answer:
x=5 and x=6
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Correct choice is A
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider right triangle ABC formed by the telephone pole (side AB) and ground (side BC). In this triangle AC is the length of the wire, BC is the distance from the base of the pole to the spot where the wire touches the ground and AB=15 ft, ∠ACB=42°.
Then
This can be solved using a system of equations.

Subtract y from both sides.

Substitute:

Subtract 80 from both sides:

Divide both sides by 5:

Substitute.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the inequality 5x − 4y > 20 for y, as follows: Subtract 5x from both sides, obtaining:
-4y > 20 - 5x;
Then divide all terms by -4:
y < -5 +(5/4)x, where the direction of the inequality sign has been reversed because of division by a negative quantity.
Temporarily replace the < symbol with = obtaining y = -5 +(5/4)x. Now choose at least three x values and find the corresponding y values. For example:
x y = -5 +(5/4)x
0 -5
4 0
-8 -15
Now plot these three points (0, -5), (4, 0) and (-8, -15). Draw a dashed line through them. Because of the < symbol in y < -5 +(5/4)x, shade the area underneath the dashed line.
