An observer (O) spots a plane flying at a 42° angle to his horizontal line of sight. If the plane is flying at an altitude of 15,000 feet, what is the distance (x) from the plane (P) to the observer (O)?

it's equivalent, so we can say that its equal.

let's call the denominator x and the numerador is 18 less then denominator, x - 18.

multiply

2.x = 5.(x - 18)

2x = 5x - 90

90 = 5x - 2x

90 = 3x

x = 90/3

x = 30

so:

i you goofed up when writing this, because hnot is not a word minusf is not either. i cannot answer   because of that.
