Answer: 4004.76\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

inclination is \theta=75^{\circ}

Mountain is h=3900\ ft high

Cable is tied x=910\ ft from the base of the mountain

From the figure, length of the shortest path is l

It is given by using Pythagoras theorem

\Rightarrow l^2=3900^2+910^2\\\Rightarrow l=\sqrt{(3900)^2+(910)^2}\\\Rightarrow l=4004.76\ ft

Katrina is solving the equation x minus 2 (x + 3) = 4 (2 x + 3) minus (x + 4). Which equivalent equations might Katrina use? Che
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

-7/4 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

x-2(x+3) = 4(2x+3) -(x+4)

Distribute

x -2x -6 =8x+12 -x -4

Combine like terms

-x-6 = 7x +8

Add x to teach side

-x-6 +x = 7x+x+8

-6 = 8x+8

Subtract 8 from each side

-6-8 =8x+8-8

-14 = 8x

Divide by 8

-14/8 = 8x/8

-7/4 =x

Question 1: <span>how much more does 1 1/4 pounds of beef cost than 1 1/4 pounds of turkey?

$4.25/pound (beef) / 4 = $1.06 per 1/4 lb = $4.25 + $1.06 = $5.31 per 1 1/4 lb
$2.85/pound (turkey) / 4 = $0.71 per 1/4 lb = $2.85 + $0.71 = $3.56 per 1 1/4 lb

$5.31 - $3.56  = $1.75 (the beef is more expensive by this much compared to the 1 1/4 lb of turkey) 

Question 2: </span><span>question 2. brad has 10 dollars to spend at ruby's. He orders 1/2 pound of sausage and 1 1/4 pounds of chicken. How much money will he brad have after he pays for this order?

$3.25 / 2 = $1.62 per 1/2 pound of sausage 
$2.50 / 4 = $0.62 per 1/4 lb of chicken + $2.50 = $3.13 per 1 1/4 lb of chicken

$1.62 (1/2 lb sausage) + $3.13 (1 1/4 lb chicken) =$4.75
$10 (budget) - $4.75 (total expense)  = $5.25 (Brad will have this much left from his budget)</span>
