From the right triangle formed, the adjacent side to the angle of elevation is 5 miles and the vertical change in elevation is the opposite side. From the trigonometric function, tangent of an angle,
                             tan 12° = x / 5 miles
The value of x from the equation is 1.06 miles. Thus, the vertical change in elevation is 1.06 miles.

The value of x in the given equation i.e \frac{16x+12}{2}=100 is 11.825

Given that equation  \frac{16x+12}{2}=100  and asked to evaluate the value of x in the given equation

⇒ \frac{16x+12}{2}=100(given equation)

To solve the given equation, need to use the various mathematical  operations i.e division and subtraction)

⇒8x+6=100 ( using the operation division)

⇒8x=100-6 (using the operation subtraction)

⇒8x=94

⇒x=\frac{94}{8}(using the operation division)

⇒x=11.825

By using the mathematical  operations i.e division and subtraction the value of x came as 11.825

⇒Therefore, The value of x in the given equation i.e \frac{16x+12}{2}=100 is 11.825
