Answer:
<h2><u><em>
x = 25</em></u></h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
What is the solution to this equation?
6 * (x - 5) = 4x + 20
6x - 30 = 4x + 20
2x = 20 + 30
2x = 50
x = 50 : 2
x = 25
-------------------
check
6 * ( 25 - 5) = 4 * 25 + 20
6 * 20 = 100 + 20
120 = 120
the answer is good
<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
The bird is approximately 9 ft high up in the tree
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
The required diagram is shown in the attached image
Note that the tree, the cat and the ground form a right-angled triangle
<u>Therefore, we can apply special trigonometric functions</u>
<u>These functions are as follows:</u>

<u>Now, taking a look at our diagram, we can note the following:</u>
α = 25°
The opposite side is the required height (x)
The adjacent side is the distance between the cat and the tree = 20 ft
Therefore, we can use the <u>tan function</u>
<u>This is done as follows:</u>
which is 9 ft approximated to the nearest ft
Hope this helps :)
