"the difference of a number x and 4": x - 4
"is": =
"3": 3
Combine the terms so that it looks like the sentence numerically:
"the difference of a number x and 4 is 3": x - 3 = 4
x - 3 = 4 is your answer.
To solve for x:
Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Isolate the variable, x. Add 3 to both sides.
x - 3 = 4
x -3 (-3) = 4 (-3)
x = 4 - 3
x = 1
1 is your answer for x.

Answer:
1. y = 14.718
2. ??
3. y = 39.794°
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>HINT the side we already know and the side we are trying to find, we use the first letters of their names and the phrase "SOHCAHTOA" to decide which function:
</em>
SOH...
Sine: sin(θ) = Opposite / Hypotenuse
...CAH...
Cosine: cos(θ) = Adjacent / Hypotenuse
...TOA
Tangent: tan(θ) = Opposite / Adjacent
1. Sine: sin(θ) = Opposite / Hypotenuse
sin(42°) = y / 22
so on your calculator enter 42 then sin = 0.669
0.669 = y/22 multiply both sides by 22 to get y
y = 14.718
2. is there any other information??
3. The two sides we know are Opposite 40 and Adjacent 48.
SOHCAHTOA tells us we must use Tangent.
Calculate Opposite/Adjacent = 40/48 = 0.833
Find the angle from your calculator using tan-1
Tan y° = opposite/adjacent = 40/48 = 0.833
tan-1 of 0.833 = 39.794°
So, and, but, but, or, nor, so. Im pretty sure this is correct.
