5 (n - 2) = 29

29/ 5 = 5.8

5.8+2=7.8 your answer is 7.8

5*(n-2) = 29

5n-10=29 (distributive property)

5n-10+10=29+10 (do operations to both sides to isolate variable)

5n/5 = 39/5 (further isolate)

n = 7.8 (answer)

Your number is 7.8.

Dima020 [189]

Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees
ratio of 1:4.....added = 5

John wants to measure the height of a tree. He walks exactly 100 feet from the base of the tree and looks up. The angle from the

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

The height of the tree is $64.94\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

y ----> the height of the tree

we know that

$tan(33\°)=y/100$ ----> the function tangent is equal to divide the opposite side angle of 33 degrees by the adjacent side angle of 33 degrees

Solve for y

$y=(100)tan(33\°)=64.94\ ft$
