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.

-3(8n - 5) - 2n = 8n - 21
BigorU [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First you do the parentheses so the -3 x 8n= -24 and -3 x -5= 15

so it will look like this. -24n+15-2n=8n-21

Now combine like terms the -24n-2n.

-26n+15=8n-21 now subtract 8n now it will look like this

-34n+15=-21 now -15 from -21

-34n=-36

now if you want n by its self divide -34 and -36
