This is the concept of trigonometry;
Using the Pythagorean theorem, the elevation of the starting point will be given by:
c^2=a^2+b^2
c^2=7^2-3^2
c^2=49-9
c^2=40
thus;
c=6.325 km
therefore the starting point of the camp was:
6.325-0.6
=5.725 km
The answer is 5.725
So the equation basically is 3x-2=y. The x intercept is when y is 0. We need to move the equation so it equals x.
3x-2=y
Let's add 2 to both sides.
3x=y+2
Now divide.
(y+2)/3=x
Let's make y=0.
(0+2)/3
2/3=x
So, the x intercept is (0,2/3). We could even look on a graph (below).
Answer:
You would figure this out by the method of substitution
Step-by-step explanation:
a= -3/2
b= 5/4
c=7/8
a(b+c) = a(b)+a(c)
Substitute
-3/2(5/4 +7/8) = -3/2(5/4)+-3/2(7/8)
-51/16 =-51/16
