Answer:
C: 4
Step-by-step explanation:
You call the number x. Then you do (x-7) * 3= -9.
3x-21=-9
3x=12
x=4
First multiply the equation by 5 to get y by itself.

Then subtract 35 from each side to get the integer by itself.
So, final answer:
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
82.14 will be rounded down to 80, 38.5 will be rounded up to 40, and 41.3 will be rounded down to 40.
80 + 40 + 40 = 160
The approximate sum is 160.
