Hey there :)

Here we need to use Trigonometry!

The given angle is 61°
The opposite to the angle is 22
So x is the adjacent

The trigonometric ratio that uses opposite and adjacent is tan
( I have uploaded a picture to help you )

tan α = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$
tan 61 = $\frac{22}{adj}$
adj = $\frac{22}{tan(61)}$
adj ≈ 12.19 ≈ 12

x = 12

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

$Let's~solve~your~problem!$

Formula :

$speed=\frac{distance}{time}$

Solving for time:

$Time~taken~to~cover~40~miles~on~local~ roads~= \frac{40}{20} = 2~hours$

$Time~taken~to~cover~180~miles~on~the~highway~=$ $\frac{180}{60}=3~hours$

$Total~Time~=~5~hours$

Solving for distance:

 $Total~Distance=40 + 180 = 220$ 

Average speed:

 $\frac{Total~distance}{Total~time} = \frac{225}{5} = 44~miles~per~hour$

6x^2+31x-30=0\\
6x^2+36x-5x-30=0\\
6x(x+6)-5(x+6)=0\\
(6x-5)(x+6)=0\\
x=\frac{5}{6} \vee x=-6\\\\
y=-12\cdot\frac{5}{6} +15\vee y=-12\cdot(-6)+15\\
y=-10 +15\vee y=72+15\\
y=5 \vee y=87\\\\
x=\frac{5}{6} \wedge y=5\\
x=-6 \wedge y=87$
