Answer:

Step 2 has an error

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation,

2(10 - 13x) = -34x + 60

By distributive property,

20 - 26x = -34x + 60

Now, we need to isolate x on the left side of the equation,

For this we need to eliminate constant term from the left side,

20 will be eliminated by subtracting 20 from both sides ( subtraction property of equality )

I.e. Step 2 has an error,

We need to use subtraction property of equality instead of using addition property of Equality,

Note : The correct steps would be,

Step 2 : 20 - 26x = -34x + 60 ( Subtraction property of equality )

Step 3 : 8x = 40 ( addition property of Equality )

Step 4 : x = 5 ( Division Property of Equality )

The error lies in step 2

You subtract 20. To 60, not add

Since both is equal to p(a), you can set them as equal to each other:

15 = 2a - 3
18 = 2a
9 = a

Solve for x: 0⁰ < x< 360⁰ <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=1%20%2B%205%20%5Csin%28x%20-%2010%20%7B0%7D%5E%7B0%7D%20%29

Answer:

x = 88.463°

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a trigonometric equation and we need to find out the value of x. The angle x lies between 0° and 360° . That is ,

$\rm\implies\red{ 0^0 < x < 360^0 }$

Given trigonometric equation :-

$\rm\implies\red{ 1 + 5 sin (x-100^0)=0 }$

Subtracting 1 both sides , we have ,

$\rm\implies 5sin( x - 100^0)= -1$

Divide both sides by 5 ,

$\rm\implies sin( x - 100^0)= \dfrac{-1}{5}$

This equation can be written as ,

$\rm\implies x - 100^0 =sin^{-1}\bigg(\dfrac{ -1}{5}\bigg) \\\\\rm\implies x - 100^0 = -11.53^0 \\\\\rm\implies x = 100^0-11.53^0\\\\\rm\implies\boxed{\bf x = 88.463^0}$
