you could use this equation to help you solve it;

x + (x + 42) = 138

the first step is to combine like terms;

2x = 138 -42

2x = 96

X = 96/2

X = 48

we already solved for x now substitute it in the equation I gave you.

48 + (48 + 42) = 138

48 + 90 = 138

hope it helped...if you have any concerns just let me know:)

4. A cruise ship travels in the direction of 55degrees for 40 miles, then changes course to a direction of 100 degrees for 35 mi
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

69.3 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the distance of the ship from its original position.

x²= 40² + 35² -2(40)(35)cos(135)

x^{2} =4804.9

\sqrt{x} ^{2}  = \sqrt{4804.9}

x= 69.3 mi
