Let's get the same terms on the same side.
I am going to remove 5x from both sides of the equation by subtracting 5x

5x - 5x<span> -7 = 7x -</span>5x<span> - 17</span>
           -7 = 2x - 17   now lets remove the 17 from both sides
       -7 + 17 = 2x     (why do we add 17?  Think of 2x -17 as 2x +  -17.  Tor remove a negative number we add it.
Now we finally have     10=2x and if we divide both sides by 2

<u>10</u><span>  = </span><u>2x</u><u>
</u>2       2    we get that x = 5
<u />Let's check by substituting 5 in the original equation:
5(5) - 7 = 7(5) - 17
25 - 7 = 35 - 17
<span>18      =       18</span>

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.
Ahat [919]

Answer:

Cos θ  = -4/5

Tan θ = -3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is as following:

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.

Angle θ lies in the second quadrant, and sin θ =3/5.

cos θ = -4/5, -3/5, 3/5, 4/5

tan θ = -4/3, -3/4, 3/4, 4/3

==================================================

Since, the angle lies in second quadrant (negative x axis and positive y axis) we can deduce that cos θ is negative and tan θ is also negative.

If sin θ =3/5

cos \  \theta =\sqrt{1-sin^2 \theta} = \sqrt{1-(\frac{3}{5} )^2} =\sqrt{1-\frac{9}{25} }=\sqrt{\frac{16}{25} } =\frac{4}{5}

∴ Cos θ = -4/5 ⇒ because θ lies in the second quadrant.

And

Tan θ = (sin θ)/(cos θ) = (3/5) / (-4/5) = -3/4.
