Answer:

x=-26

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property first (both sides)

you would get

4x+2 = 3x-24

next you will subtract 3x from both sides

1x+2=-24

add 24 to both sides

1x+26=0

move 26 to the other side but since you flipped it you have to make it negative

x=-26

How tall is a building that casts a 78-ft shadow when the angle of elevation of the sun is 30 degrees?

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer: $45.03\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The length of the shadow is 78 ft

the angle of elevation is $\theta =30^{\circ}$

Suppose the height of the building is $h$

From the figure, we can write

$\tan 30^{\circ}=\dfrac{h}{78}\\\\h=78\tan 30^{\circ}\\\\h=45.03\ ft$

The height of the building is 45.03 ft

The width of a rectangular swimming pool is 12 meters less than the length, and the perimeter is 72 meters. Find its dimensions

Elis [28]

Answer:

The dimensions are 24 and 12 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

W + L + W + L = 72 perimeter

(L-12) + L + (L-12) + L = 72

4L - 24 = 72

4L = 72 + 24 = 96 ====> L = 96%2F4 = 24.
