2x-5 14
10(2x-5)=14(x+8)
20x-50 = 14x+112
20x-14x = 112+50
6x = 162
x= 162/6
x=27.....

Answer:
19. A
20. A
Step-by-step explanation:
19. tan(53)=15/x
x(tan(53))=15
x=15/(tan53))
x=11.3 feet
20. tan(60)=12/x
x(tan(60))=12
x=12/(tan(60))
x=6.93, or 4sqrt3
I honestly don’t know. But the square in the bottom of the triangles indicate that it is a right triangle equaling 90 degrees. You can try using that along with other knowledge of right triangles you have. Could you possibly use Pythagorean theorem also?
