When you make a drawing with the instructions, and call x the altitude of the plane and y the distance from the angle 72 ° to the point straight below the plane, you obtain these equations

tan(55°) = x / (2.2 + y)

tan (72°) = x / y

You solve y from the second equation

y = x / tan(72°)

Substitute y in the first equation

tan (55°) = x /(2.2 + x/tan(72°)

Solve for x:

x = tan(55)[2.2 + x/tan(72) ]

x = tan(55) (2.2) + x tan(55)/tan(72)

x - x tan (55)/tan(72) = 2.2 tan (55)

Now substitute the values of the tangents

tan (55) = 1.4281
tan(72) = 3.0777

x - 0.464x = 3.1419

x = 3.1419 / (1-0.464) =5.86 m

Ah ... it is a toy plane! I guess.

Linh has obtained scores of 82, 79, and 75 on her midterm algebra exams. If the final exam counts twice as much as a midterm, wh
OLga [1]

Answer:

She must make a score of 42 in the final exam to obtain an average of 80.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Let x be the score of the final exam, the equation will be as follows (remember that the score of the final counts double):

(82 + 79 + 75 + 2x)/4 = 80

Let´s solve the equation for x multiplying each side of the equation be 4:

82 + 79 +75 + 2x = 320

Substract 82, 79 and 75 to both sides of the equation:

2x = 320 - 82 - 79 -75

2x = 84

x = 84/2

x = 42

She must make a score of 42 in the final exam to obtain an average of 80.

Have a nice day!

Solve for u . 3u+11=41
Vinil7 [7]
U is 10. If you subtract 11 first to get the variable and it's coefficient on its own, you see that 3u=30. To get the u on its own, you divide both sides by three. This gives you u=10
