Start by combining LIKE-TERMS. 13b AND 23 are LIKE-TERMS because they have the same variable (B) and numbers. Remember PEMDAS OR Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally. (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction). There is also FOIL (First, Inside, Outside, Last). Because we will start with Parenthesis(Use the FOIL method because the 56 is part of the parentheses) first, (-56 x b[first part of the set]) = -56b THEN (-56 x [+ {always carry the sign, this shows that it is positive}]1) = -56
Now we have 13b+23b -56b-56
=36b -56b -56
= -20b - 56
This is your final equation because THESE ARE NOT LIKE-TERMS, therefore, they CANNOT be combined
Answer:
<em>The height of the monument is 124.8 ft</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Right Triangles</u>
The ratios of the sides of a right triangle are called trigonometric ratios. The tangent ratio is defined as:
The figure attached below shows the different distances involved in the problem. We heed to find the value of h, the height from Daniel's eyes. Then we'll add it to the 6 ft where his eyes are located from the ground.
Taking the angle of 68° as a reference:
Solving for h:
Calculating:
h = 118.8 ft
The height of the monument is 118.8 ft + 6 ft = 124.8 ft
For downstairs- 28 x 38= 1064
For upstairs- 26 x 14= 364
All together- 1064 + 364= 1428
So.... 1428 seats in total.
Hope this helped! :)
