Hi there!

$\large\boxed{y = -7}$

4y - 2(1 - y) = -44

Begin by distributing -2:

4y - 2(1) - 2(-y) = -44

Simplify. A negative times a negative equals positive.

4y - 2 + 2y = -44

Combine like terms:

6y - 2 = -44

Add 2 to both sides:

6y = -42

Divide both sides by 6:

y = -7

In kilometers, the approximate distance to the earth's horizon from a point h meters above the surface can be determined by evaluating the expression

$d= \sqrt{12h}$

We are given the height h of a person from surface of sea level to be 350 m and we are to find the the distance to horizon d. Using the value in above expression we get:

$d= \sqrt{12*350}=64.81$

Therefore, the approximate distance to the horizon for the person will be 64.81 km
