ANSWER: 7/6
step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
step 2:Subtract 2/3 from both sides.
step 3: Multiply both sides by 7/(-1).
Sine = opposite / hypotenuse
If we think of the hypotenuse =1, then sine(C) = x / 1 or just "x"
The sine (A) = adjacent / hypotenuse = y / 1 or just "y"
1 inch drop for every 25 inches length
40 feet= 12 x 40 = 480 inches
There are 19.2-25 inch lengths in 480 inches.
So there is a 19.2 inch drop in 40 feet.
Hope this helps :)
