D - the shortest distance from the ship to the shore.
d / ( 17 - x ) = tan 32° = 0.62487
d / x = tan 53° = 1.32704
d = 0.62487 ( 17 - x )
d = 1.32704 x
0.62487 ( 17 - x ) = 1.32704 x
10.62279 - 0.62487 x = 1.32704 x
x = 10.62279 : 1.95191
x = 5.44226 miles
d = 5.44226 · 1.32704
Answer:
d = 7.222 miles
I think the root of "3x + 1 = 7" is 2...
Y=-3x+2 bc the line is going down so it’s negative and the y intercept is 2
The answer is 5 you can also use your fingers no I’m not calling you dumb I’m just saying you can
