Coast Guard station Orange-Lime is located 120 miles due west of station Violet-Tangerine. A ship at sea sends an SOS call that is received by each station. The call to station Orange-Lime indicates that the bearing of the ship from Orange-Lime is N40oE (40o east of north). The call to station Violet-Tangerine indicates that the bearing of the ship from Violet-Tangerine is N30oW (30o west of north).
How far, in miles, is station Violet-Tangerine from the ship? Round to the nearest tenth.
*the 'o' represents degrees.

Let the triangle OL-VT-SS identify the locations of the stations and the stricken ship. The vertex of the two bearing lines is 70 degrees. The angle VT-OL-SS is 50 degrees. Then by the law of sines , 120/Sin 70 = SS-VT/ Sin 50

on the x-intercept, y=0. So set f(x) to equivalent 0: 0=log(x-2)... convert this into exponential style: (the log's base is 10 via default) 10^0=x-2 ...something to the flexibility of 0 is a million: a million=x-2 ---> x=3

If you paid attention and you knew how to do it, all it would take is time to get the problem done.
