Solve the system by substitution.
y = 4x + 3
y = 72

17.25

Step-by-step explanation:

You already know y = 72, so you could rewrite the equation to 72 = 4x + 3. To get to the answer, you need to find what X is. What you should do is subtract 3 from both sides, get 69, divide by 4 on both sides and get 17.25

I'm not sure if this is correct, but I hope this helped.

hope this !

step-by-step explanation:

d = distance between moon and sun, which in this problem is the hypotenuse of a right triangle.  

the distance y is the side opposite to angle x in the right triangle.   use the definition of the sine function from basic trigonometry.

sin(x) = y/d ⇒

d = y/sin(x)
