Answer:
The number is 12
Step-by-step explanation:
[] First, let's turn all these words into something mathematical. N will equal "my number"
-><u> If you add 12 to my number</u> and then multiply the result by 3, you will get 64 more than two-thirds of my number.
-> n + 12 <u>and then multiply the result by 3</u>, you will get 64 more than two-thirds of my number.
-> 3(n + 12), you will get 64 more than <u>two-thirds of my number</u>.
-> 3(n + 12) = <u>64 more than</u>
-> 3(n + 12) = 64 +
[] Phew, okay. Now it is something we can solve and less scary;
[Given]
3(n + 12) = 64 +
[Distribute]
3n + 36 = 64 +
[Multiply both sides by 3]
9n + 108 = 192 + 2n
[Subtract 108 and 2n from both sides]
7n = 84
[Divide both sides by 4]
n = 12
Have a nice day!

Answer:
60°
Step-by-step explanation:
The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relationship between angles and sides in a right triangle. Here, we're given the side Adjacent and the side Opposite the angle of interest. This makes it appropriate to choose the relation ...
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
For our angle of elevation α, this means ...
tan(α) = 125/72
α = arctan(125/72) = 60.058°
α ≈ 60°
The angle of elevation is about 60°.
