Answer:

<h2><u>B.</u> <u>It must be a positive number since it represents a number of hours.</u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

I got it right on EDG.

<em />

Simplifying

7h + -5(3h + -8) = -72

Reorder the terms:

7h + -5(-8 + 3h) = -72

7h + (-8 * -5 + 3h * -5) = -72

7h + (40 + -15h) = -72

Reorder the terms:

40 + 7h + -15h = -72

Combine like terms: 7h + -15h = -8h

40 + -8h = -72

Solving

40 + -8h = -72

Solving for variable 'h'.

Move all terms containing h to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-40' to each side of the equation.

40 + -40 + -8h = -72 + -40

Combine like terms: 40 + -40 = 0

0 + -8h = -72 + -40

-8h = -72 + -40

Combine like terms: -72 + -40 = -112

-8h = -112

Divide each side by '-8'.

h = 14

Simplifying

h = 14

A film student wants to capture a shot of a satellite dish placed at the top of a building. The line of sight between the ground
ICE Princess25 [194]

The ground, the building and the line of sight between the ground camera and the top of the building form right triangle with hypotenuse equal to 45 feet and angle adjacent to this hypotenuse and ground - 50°. The building is an opposite leg to the given angle, then you should write sine function:

\sin 50^{\circ}=\dfrac{height}{45} \\ \\ 0.766=\dfrac{height}{45}\\  \\ height=45\cdot 0.766=34.47.

The answer to the nearest tenth of a foot is 34.5 feet
