To find the length of the side opposite the angle while knowing the hypotenuse we can use the sine function:
sin(53) = (side opposite angle of 53 degrees) / hypotenuse
sin(53) = x / 24
x = 24 sin(53)
x = 19.16
Hope that helped
Answer:
1. Add 6 to both sides, cause that is the inverse of subtraction, so you get 5x = 50 as 6 cancels 6 out.
2. Divide 5 from both sides and get x = 10
2/3x - 1/2 = 1/3 + 5/6x....multiply the entire equation by the common denominator of 6...this will get rid of the fractions.
6(2/3x - 1/2) = 6(1/3 + 5/6x) =
4x - 3 = 2 + 5x...subtract 5x from both sides
4x - 5x - 3 = 2...add 3 to both sides
4x - 5x = 2 + 3...combine terms
-x = 5...multiply by -1 to make x positive
x = -5
