Question

What is the value of x? If sin (8x - 18)º = cos (5x + 4)°

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer x  = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

(5x + 4) + (8x - 18)= 90      The two angles must be complementary for this to work. Remove the brackets

5x + 4 + 8x - 18 = 90          Collect like terms

13x - 14 = 90                        Add 14 to both sides

13x = 104                              Divide by 13  

x = 8 Answer

Check

Sin(8*8 - 18) = sin(64 - 18) = sin(46) = 0.7193

Cos(5*8 + 4) = cos(44) = 0.7193

This problem is very interesting. Thanks for posting.
