There should be 1,400 pages in an order that costs the same for both companies.
Let x be the unknown number of pages.
1st Company = 42 + 0.05x
2nd Company = 0.08x
0.08x = 42 + 0.05x
0.08x - 0.05x = 42
0.03x = 42
0.03x / 0.03 = 42 / 0.03
x = 1400 pages
To check
0.08x = 42 + 0.05x
0.08 (1400) = 42 + (0.05 * 1400)
112 = 42 + 70
112 = 112
It helps to draw a picture so you can see which trig ratios to use but...
310 is the hypotenuse of the ski slope and the side length across from the angle you’re looking for is 220, the vertical drop.
You can use sin to find theta.
sinx= 220/310
sinx=0.70967...
x = sin inverse of 0.70967....
x = 45°
