You are trying to determine the height of a building whose base is on a level plane on which you stand. You are at the base of a vertical pole that you are able to climb. From
the base of the pole, you measure the angle to the top of the building to be 30°. You climb
a certain distance up the pole and measure again: the angle is now 28°. After climbing 10
feet further up the pole, you measure once more, and find the angle is 27º.
How tall is the building?

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies but no more than 40. 5 ≤ x ≤ 40

step-by-step explanation:

20 ≤ x + 15 ≤ 55

subtract 15 from all parts

20-15 ≤ x + 15-15 ≤ 55-15

5 ≤ x ≤ 40

this means how many more cookies he has to make

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies, but no more than 40 cookies; 5 ≤ x ≤ 40

step-by-step explanation:

let x and 400 - x be the two numbers.  

==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68 from the statement of the problem.  

< ==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68  

==> 340 - 0.05x = 332  

< ==> -0.05x = -8 ==> x = 160, the first number ==> 400 - x = 240, the second number.
