Answer:
x=13
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Isolate the variable
3x - 2 = 37
+2 = +2
2. Divide the equation by the coefficient
3x = 39
/3 /3
3. Answer
x = 13
15/35 of her attempts were successful.
Here we are finding x, given the angle and adjacent side. To find x we will use the function cos as cos = a/h.
So let's do cos(35°) = 15cm / x
cos(35°) = 0.8 (1 dp)
x = 15 cm / cos(35°)
x = 18.3 cm (1 dp)
