Hi there!

Answer:

<u><em>x=403 and 403=x</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Because a student says the answer is 347 is not the right answer. The final answer should be x=403 and 403=x.

375=x-28

Switch sides.

x-28=375

add by 28 both sides of an equation.

x-28+28=375+28

simplify.

x=403 and 403=x

403-28=375

28+375=403

Hope this helps!

Answer:

x=403

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this equation you have to clear X and to clear X you have to add 28 in both sides of the equation to eliminate the -28 from the side of the x:

375=x-28

375(+28)=x-28+(28)

375+28=x

x=403

The student instead of adding the 28 put them with negative sign making him withdraw from teh 375 instead of adding, that was his mistake.

Solve each equation for y (get into slope-intercept/y=mx + b form):
Gwar [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to do this we need to isolate y by performing the inverse operations on the other values like so...

a)   10x + 5y = 20   ... subtract 10x on both sides

     5y = 20 - 10x    ... divide both sides by 5

       y = 4 - 2x   ... we can move the 2x to the right to make it into y = mx + b

       y = -2x + 4

b)   3x - 2y = 10 + 4x   ... subtract 3x on both sides

      -2y = 10 + x    ... divide both sides by -2

       y = -5 - 0.5x ... move -0.5 to the left so it matches y = mx + b

      y = -0.5x - 5

The angle of elevation from Madison to the top of the Statue of Liberty is 79 degrees. If Madison is standing 58.2 feet from its
lana66690 [7]
To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

 1. You have the following information given in the problem:

 - <span>The angle of elevation from Madison to the top of the Statue of Liberty is 79 degrees.
 - Madison is standing 58.2 feet from its base.

 -Madison is 5 feet tall.

 2. Therefore, you have:

 Sin</span>α=opposite/hypotenuse
<span>
 Sin(79°)=x/58.2
 x=(58.2)(Sin(79°))
 x=57.13 ft

 3. Now, you can calculate the height of the Statue of Liberty, as below:

 height=x+5 ft
 height=57.13 ft+5 ft
 height=62.13 ft

 4. Therefore, as you can see, the answer is: 62.13 ft
