x/2 = -0.73
To solve for x multiply both sides by 2:
x = -1.46
let's convert firstly the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then add up.

Answer:
-5x + 1y = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
move the 5x to the other side of the equal sign.
Okay
now draw a right angled triangle
labeling the hypotenus 57ft
the opposite x and the adjacent 5.5 ft and the angle in the right angle triangle is 55 °.
now solve
sin 55°=x/5.5
0.8192(the sin of 55)= x/5.5
cross multiply
X=4.51
