The second one the one that is purple
Given:
Height of the lighthouse = 280 feet
The angle of depression from the top of the lighthouse to a ship = 18°.
To find:
The distance between boat and shore.
Solution:
Draw a diagram by using the given information.
In a right angle triangle,
In triangle ABC,
Using a calculator, we get
Therefore, the boat is 862 feet away from shore.
Simplify both sides of the equation
3x+1/10 = x+ -1/7
Subtract x from both sides
3x+1/10 -x = x+ -1/7 -x
2x+1/10 = -1/7
Subtract 1/10 from both sides
2x+1/10 - 1/10 = -1/7 -1/10
2x= -17/70
Divide both sides by 2
2x/2 = -17/70/2
x= -17/140
decimal x will equal -0.121

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
Discussion:
I stared at the numbers 19, 29, 39, 49, 59, 69,... for a second and noticed that adding 10 to any number gives the next number to the right. For example,
19 + 10 = 29
29 + 10 = 39
39 + 10 = 49
etc.....
A recursive formula would be:
a(0) = 19
a(n+1) = a(n) + 10 if n >= 0
