Step-by-step explanation:
these are multiplications.
you could also write
4 + 5×(p - 1)
now, we need to calculate the contents of brackets (if we can), then do the multiplications and divisions, before we can do the then remaining additions and subtractions.
if we cannot do a calculation directly (because there is a variable involved), we need to do and document the single steps for the individual parts involved.
so,
4 + 5×(p - 1) = 4 + 5×p + 5×-1 = 4 + 5p - 5 = 5p - 1
remember, a multiplication of 2 expressions is done by multiplying every term of one expression with every term of the other expression and adding the results up (by considering their individual signs, of course).
Let distance form the pole = x and height of the hill = y ft
now we can set up 2 equayions
tan 18 = (40-y)/x
tan 14 = y/x
from second equation y = sxtan14 so we have:-
tan 18 = ( 40 - x tan 14) / x
x tan 18 = 40 - x tan 14
x(tan 18 + tan 14) = 40
x = 40 / (tan18 + tan 14) = 69.66 feet Answer
Answer:
<u>No</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
3/5 or 3 ÷ 5 = 0.60
6/7 or 6 ÷ 7 = about 0.8571
these two numbers/decimals are obviously not the same, making them inequivalent
