Find the value of x to the nearest tenth.

16. x = 16.5

17. x =

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem 16: Use the tangent function of angle 36 degrees, since it relates opposite side (12) with adjacent side (x):

which rounded to the nearest tenth is: 16.5

Problem 17: Use the arcsin function to find the angle x, since sine relates opposite side with hypotenuse in a right angle triangle:

which rounded to the nearest tenth is: 33.1

-1/4 > -1 2/3. -1/4 is greater than -1 2/3 because it is closer to 0 on the number line.

x=-2

step-by-step explanation:

i began by flipping the problem to give me x= on the left (keeps it clearer for me).   so my problem simply became 10x-3=4x-6.  

1)   subtract 4x from the right side, which equals 0.   you do the same to the left of the equal as the right; therefore, subtract 4x from 10x, leaving 6x on the left.

              10x-3=4x-6   :   4x-4x on the right leaves only the -6        

2)             6x-3= 0-6 :    

                6x+3=   -6

3) divide
