Answer:

$\boxed{\sf x= -29.5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf \sqrt{-2x+5}-3=5$

$\sf \sqrt{-2x+5}=8$

$\sf -2x+5=64$

$\sf -2x=59$

$\sf \cfrac{-2x}{-2}=\cfrac{59}{-2}$

Therefore, x = -29.5.

Answer: $4004.76\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

inclination is $\theta=75^{\circ}$

Mountain is $h=3900\ ft$ high

Cable is tied $x=910\ ft$ from the base of the mountain

From the figure, length of the shortest path is $l$

It is given by using Pythagoras theorem

$\Rightarrow l^2=3900^2+910^2\\\Rightarrow l=\sqrt{(3900)^2+(910)^2}\\\Rightarrow l=4004.76\ ft$
