X - (-20) = 5

When you subtract a negative, change it to addition:

X + 20 = 5

Subtract 20 from both sides:

X = -15

Answer:

$\boxed{x=-15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x-(-20)=5$

$\sf Distribute \ negative \ sign.$

$x+20=5$

$\sf Subtract \ 20 \ from \ both \ sides.$

$x+20-20=5-20$

$x=-15$

Two people are standing on opposite sides of a hill. Person A makes an angle of elevation of 65° with the top of the hill and pe

Answer:

Option 3. 71 ft. is the distance between B and top of the hill.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the hill is h ft and the distance of A from the hill be x ft and distance from B to hill is y.

It is given distance between A and B is 45 ft. ∠BAO = 65° and ∠ABO = 80°.

We have to find the distance of B from the top of the hill.

Now from ΔACO $tan 65 = \frac{h}{45-x} = 2.14$

$h=2.14(45-x)$

From ΔBCO $tan80 = \frac{h}{x} = 5.67$

h = 5.67x

Now h = 5.67x = 2.14(45-x)

5.67x = 96.3 - 2.14x

2.14x + 5.67x = 96.3

7.81x = 96.3

x = 96.3/7.81 = 12.33 ft

Therefore $cos80 = \frac{x}{OB}$

$0.174 = \frac{12.33}{OB}$

$OB = \frac{12.33}{.174}=70.86=71ft.$

Therefore 71 ft is the distance between B and the top of the hill.

bija089 [108]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is - 16</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

where

n is the number of terms

From the question since we are finding the 5th term

n = 5

Substitute the value into the above formula and solve

We have

$b(5) = - 1({2})^{5 - 1} \\ = - 2 ^{4}$

We have the final answer as
