Using the slope concept, it is found that the balloon's vertical distance above the ground is of 437.4 feet.
<h3>What is a slope?</h3>
The slope is given by the <u>vertical change divided by the horizontal change</u>, and it's also the tangent of the angle of depression.
In this problem:
- The vertical change is x.
- The horizontal change is of 602 ft.
Hence, applying the concept:
tan (36º) = x/602
x = 602 x tan(36º)
x = 437.4.

In this equation q is equal to 1
STEPS:
-8q+6+3q-3 (original equation)
-3q+3 (combine like terms)
3q=3 (move -3q to the other side so you can divide to get what q is. When you move it over to the other side it becomes positive)
q=1 (divided)
