Answer:

4.3 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Angle of elevation = 73°

Horizontal distance from foot of ladder to bottom of wall = x feets

Height of ladder = 14 feets

The horizontal distance, x :

Using trigonometry :

Tan θ = opposite / Adjacent

Tan θ = 14 / x

Tan 73 = 14 / x

3.2708526 * x = 14

x = 14 / 3.2708526

x = 4.2802295

x = 4.3 feets

Solve equation. Show steps <br> 8+x=4x+2
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

8 + x = 4x +2

Subtract 4x from both sides:

8 + x - 4x = 4x + 2 - 4x

Group like terms:

x - 4x + 8 = 4x + 2 -4x

Simplify the arithmetic:

-3x + 8 = 4x + 2 -4x

Group like terms:

-3 + 8 = 4x - 4x + 2

Simplify the arithmetic:

-3x + 8 = 2
