Answer:
x = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
The relationship between the sine and cosine functions can be written as ...
sin(x) = cos(90 -x)
sin(A) = cos(90 -A) = cos(B) . . . . substituting the given values
Equating arguments of the cosine function, we have ...
90 -(3x+4) = 8x -35
86 -3x = 8x -35
86 +35 = 8x +3x . . . . . add 3x+35 to both sides
121 = 11x . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms
121/11 = x = 11 . . . . . . . . divide by 11
