D - the shortest distance from the ship to the shore.
d / ( 17 - x ) = tan 32° = 0.62487
d / x = tan 53° = 1.32704
d = 0.62487 ( 17 - x )
d = 1.32704 x
0.62487 ( 17 - x ) = 1.32704 x
10.62279 - 0.62487 x = 1.32704 x
x = 10.62279 : 1.95191
x = 5.44226 miles
d = 5.44226 · 1.32704
Answer:
d = 7.222  miles

arlik [135]

Answer:

I am pretty sure the answer is 498.  

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to solve the parentheses first.  So,

9(7      (14-6)      -3 x 2)  

63         (8)             -6)

63(8)-6

63(8) = 504

504-6 = 498

please let me know f this is correct :)
