X = 8/15
6x - 1/5 = 3/1
6x - 1/5 = 3
6x = 3 + 1/5
6x = 15 + 1 over 5
6x = 16/5
x = 16/30
Then, you simplify.
x = 8/15
The distance between the bottom of the lighthouse and the boat is 77.6m.
<h3>What is the
distance between the
bottom of the lighthouse and the
boat?</h3>
The lighthouse and the boat would form a right triangle. The height would be the height of the lighthouse. The distance between the top of the lighthouse and boat would be the hypotenuse. The distance between the bottom of the lighthouse and the boat would be the base.
In order to determine the required distance, Pythagoras theorem would be used.
The Pythagoras theorem: a² + b² = c²
- where:
a = length - b = base
- c = hypotenuse
125² = 98² + b²
b² = 125² - 98²
b = √(25² - 98² )
b = 77.6m

The amount of money I spend putting gas in my car this week is
B = 3.079 G
where
' B ' is the number of Bux I spend on gas this week.
' G ' is the number of Gallons I buy this week.
-- The independent variable is 'G'. I can buy as few or as many gallons
as I want to.
-- The dependent variable is ' B '. It <em>depends</em> on how many gallons I buy.
