Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

The current probability of picking a red ball is \frac{x}{15}. When 5 more balls are added, the probability is 3/4. We can write a ratio for this problem:

\frac{x+5}{15+5} = \frac{3}{4}

When using cross multiplication to solve this, you get 3 * 20 = 4(x+5).

60 = 4x + 20

40 = 4x

x = 10 red balls

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

435 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Reference angle = <P = 49° (angle of elevation)

Opposite side = 500 ft

Adjacent side = d = ?

Apply trigonometric function, TOA.

This:

Tan P = opp/adj

Tan 49 = 500/d

d × Tan 49 = 500

d = 500/Tan 49

d = 434.643369 ≈ 435 ft (to the nearest foot)
