4(x-3)=9 what is the first step

x= 5.25

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to get x alone, so do inverse operations.

(Basically, reverse what it is)

4(x-3)=9

divide 4 by both sides to get rid of 4 on left side

9/4 = 2.25

(x-3) = 2.25

Now add 3 to both sides, to get x alone

2.25 + 3 = 5.25

x=5.25

Check work

4(5.25-3) = 9

4(2.25) = 9

9=9

answer: cos [   arcsin (3/5) - arccos (1/2) ] =

step-by-step explanation: × = 3/5 = 0.6--> x = 36.87 and x = 180 - 36.87 = 143.13 deg

cos y = 1/2 --> y = +- 60 deg a. cos (x - y) = cos (143.13 - 60) = cos 83,13  

=

0.12

b. cos (36.87 - 60) = cos (-23.23) = 0.92
