Please explain step by step to get marked!

36% of 140 = 50.4

Step-by-step explanation:

36% of what number = 50.4

... is equivalent to:

36% × ? = 50.4

36% × ? = 50.4 =>

? =

50.4 ÷ 36% =

50.4 ÷ (36 ÷ 100) =

(100 × 50.4) ÷ 36 =

5,040 ÷ 36 =

140

36% of 140 = 50.4

answer:  

step-by-step explanation:

here x represents the height of the pole,

and, the height of the shadow of the pole is 12 feet.

also, the angle of elevation from the top of the pole is 40°,

therefore,

by the low of sine,

which is the required equation for finding the value of x,

x > 1.3

step by step:

8.5−0.9x> 9.8−1.9x

step 1: simplify both sides of the inequality.

−0.9x+8.5> −1.9x+9.8

step 2: add 1.9x to both sides.

−0.9x+8.5+1.9x> −1.9x+9.8+1.9x

1x+8.5> 9.8

step 3: subtract 8.5 from both sides.

1x+8.5−8.5> 9.8−8.5

1x> 1.3

step 4: divide both sides by 1.

1x/1 > 1.3/1
