The correct answer is B.)
A........................
% means out of 100 so If its 6% that = .06 then just multiply
Justify means plug answer in and verify
so distribute 8(3-7x)=24-56x
143=7+24-56x
143=31-56x
minus 31 both sides
112=-56x
divide both sides by -56
-2=x
justify
plug it back
143=7+8(3-7x)
143=7+8(3-7(-2))
143=7+8(3-(-14))
143=7+8(3+14)
143=7+8(17)
143=7+136
143=143
true
x=-2
Answer:
b = 33 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The illustration forms a right angled triangle. The opposite side of the triangle is where we are looking for . The adjacent side is the radius 4000 miles.
5280 ft = 1 mile
735 ft = ? miles
cross multiply
735/5280
miles = 0.13920454545 miles
The hypotenuse side is the height of the building + 4000 miles = 0.140 + 4000 = 4000.14 miles
using Pythagoras theorem
c² = a² + b²
c = 4000.14
a = 4000
4000.14² = 4000² + b²
b² = 4000.14² - 4000²
b² = 16001120.0196 - 16000000
b² = 1120.0196
b = √1120.0196
b = 33.4666938911
b = 33 miles
