Answer:

$\boxed {\tt x=\frac{5y}{4}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation:

$4x=5y$

We want to solve for x, so we must isolate x.

x is being multiplied by 4. The inverse of multiplication is division. Use the <u>Division Property of Equality</u> and divide both sides of the equation by 4.

$\frac{4x}{4} =\frac{5y}{4}$

$x=\frac{5y}{4}$

Using the Division Property of Equality, x is equal to 5y/4

$\cos^3 2A + 3 \cos 2A \\
\Rightarrow \cos 2A (\cos^2 2A + 3) \\
\Rightarrow (\cos^2 A - \sin^2 A) (\cos^2 2A + 3) \\
\Rightarrow (\cos^2 A - \sin^2 A) (1 - \sin^2 2A + 3) \\
\Rightarrow (\cos^2 A - \sin^2 A) (4 - \sin^2 2A) \\
\Rightarrow (\cos^2 A - \sin^2 A) (4 - (2\sin A \cos A)(2\sin A \cos A)) \\
\Rightarrow (\cos^2 A - \sin^2 A) (4 - 4\sin^2 A \cos^2 A) \\ 
\Rightarrow 4(\cos^2 A - \sin^2 A) (1 - \sin^2 A \cos^2 A) 
$

go to right side now

$4( \cos^6 A - \sin^6 A)\\
\Rightarrow 4( \cos^3 A - \sin^3 A)(\cos^3 A + \sin^3 A)$

use $x^3 - y^3 = (x-y)(x^2 + xy + y^2)$ and $x^3 + y^3 = x^2 - xy + y^2$

$4( \cos^6 A - \sin^6 A)\\ \Rightarrow 4( \cos^3 A - \sin^3 A)(\cos^3 A + \sin^3 A) \\
\Rightarrow 4(\cos A - \sin A)(\cos^2 A + \cos A \sin A + \sin^2 A) \\
~\quad \quad\cdot ( \cos A + \sin A)(\cos^2 A - \cos A \sin A + \cos^2 A)$

so $\sin^2 A + \cos^2 A = 1$

$4( \cos^6 A - \sin^6 A)\\ \Rightarrow 4(\cos A - \sin A)(\cos^2 A + \cos A \sin A + \sin^2 A) \\ ~\quad \quad\cdot ( \cos A + \sin A)(\cos^2 A - \cos A \sin A + \cos^2 A) \\ \Rightarrow 4(\cos^2 A - \sin^2 A)(1 + \cos A \sin A )(1- \cos A \sin A ) \\ \Rightarrow 4(\cos^2 A - \sin^2 A)(1 - \cos^2 A \sin^2 A )\\ \Rightarrow 4(\cos^2 A - \sin^2 A)(1 - \sin^2 A \cos^2 A ) \\
 \Rightarrow Left hand side$
