Answer:

$x=12.4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in an equation with trig ratio tan on left side as

$tan 46=\frac{x}{12}$

$1.0356(12) = x\\x=12.4$

Solution is x = 12.4

Verify:

When x=12,4

right side = 12.4/12

= 1.0356

=tan 46

Thus verified

Okay so start with getting the x by itself
tan46 = x/12
multiply both sides by 12
12tan46 = x
put that into a calculator and you get:
x=12.4

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

Factoring b2-4b+4
The first term is, b2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, -4b its coefficient is -4 .
The last term, "the constant", is +4 

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • 4 = 4

Step-2 : Find two factors of 4 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -4 .

-4 + -1 = -5 -2 + -2 = -4 That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -2 and -2
 b2 - 2b - 2b - 4

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
 b • (b-2)
 Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
 2 • (b-2)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
 (b-2) • (b-2)
 Which is the desired factorization
