Answer:

X = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 2x to both sides of the equation

5-2x+2x=3+2x

5+0=3+2x

Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation

5-3=3-3+2x

2=0+2x

2x=2

x=2/2

X = 1

Answer: x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, we want to isoate the variable.

5-2x=3 [subtract both sides by 5]

-2x=-2 [divide both sides by -2]

x=1

Now, we know that x=1.

Answer:

The distance between the ship at N 25°E and the lighthouse would be 7.26 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. The complete question should be

The bearing of a lighthouse from a ship is N 37° E. The ship sails 2.5 miles further towards the south. The new bearing is N 25°E. What is the distance between the lighthouse and the ship at the new location?

Given the initial bearing of a lighthouse from the ship is N 37° E. So, $\angle ABN$ is 37°. We can see from the diagram that $\angle ABC$ would be $180-37=$ 143°.

Also, the new bearing is N 25°E. So, $\angle BCA$ would be 25°.

Now we can find $\angle BAC$ . As the sum of the internal angle of a triangle is 180°.

$\angle ABC+\angle BCA+\angle BAC=180\\143+25+\angle BAC=180\\\angle BAC=180-143-25\\\angle BAC=12$

Also, it was given that ship sails 2.5 miles from N 37° E to N 25°E. We can see from the diagram that this distance would be our BC.

And let us assume the distance between the lighthouse and the ship at N 25°E is $AC=x$

We can apply the sine rule now.

$\frac{x}{sin(143)}=\frac{2.5}{sin(12)}\\ \\x=\frac{2.5}{sin(12)}\times sin(143)\\\\x=\frac{2.5}{0.207}\times 0.601\\ \\x=7.26\ miles$

So, the distance between the ship at N 25°E and the lighthouse is 7.26 miles.
