Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3=8/x+6

Using cross products

2 * (x+6) = 3*8

2(x+6) = 24

Divide by 2

x+6 =12

Subtract 6

x = 6

Answer:

x = -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, we simply need to isolate x in the equation using properties of equations.  For this equation, we will use addition and multiplication properties.

(2/3) = (8/x) + 6

(2/3) + -6 = (8/x) + 6 + -6

(2/3) + -6 = (8/x)

(1/8) * [(2/3) + -6] = (8/x) * (1/8)

(1/8) * [(2/3) + -6] = (1/x)

(1/8) * [(2/3) + (-18/3)] = (1/x)

(1/8) * [-16/3] = (1/x)

(1 * -16) / (3 * 8) = (1/x)

(-2/3) = (1/x)

x * (-2/3) = (1/x) * x

(-2x/3) = 1

(-3/2) * (-2x/3) = 1 * (-3/2)

x = (-3/2)

x = -3/2

Cheers.

Right Triangle Trig.
d1i1m1o1n [39]

The values are vx = \frac{14\sqrt{3} }{\sqrt{2} }, vw = \frac{14\sqrt{3} }{\sqrt{2} } and m∠x = 45°, for the given right angle diagram.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is,

                Right angled triangle XVW,

                                     XW = 14\sqrt{3}

                                   m∠V = 90°

                                  m∠W = 45°

Step:1

              Given diagram is right angle triangle,

              Trigonometric ratios for right angle is,

                                 sin ∅ =\frac{Opp}{Hyp}............................(1)

                                  cos ∅ = \frac{Adj}{Hyp} .........................(2)

                                  tan ∅ = \frac{Opp}{Hyp}..........................(3)

Step:2

             For the value of VX,

                                   sin ∅ =\frac{VX}{XW}

            From given,

                               ∅ = 45°

                           XW = 14\sqrt{3}

           Above equation becomes,

                                     sin 45 =\frac{VX}{14\sqrt{3} }

            Where, Sin 45 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} },

                                            \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } = \frac{VX}{14\sqrt{3} }

                                           VX = \frac{14\sqrt{3} }{\sqrt{2} }

Step:3

              For the value of VW,

                                   cos ∅ =\frac{VW}{XW}

            From given,

                               ∅ = 45°

                           XW = 14\sqrt{3}

           Above equation becomes,

                                     cos 45 =\frac{VW}{14\sqrt{3} }

            Where, cos 45 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} },

                                            \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } = \frac{VW}{14\sqrt{3} }

                                           VW = \frac{14\sqrt{3} }{\sqrt{2} }

Step:4

             For the value m∠x = a,

                                      tan a =\frac{VX}{VW}

            From given,

                            VX = \frac{14\sqrt{3} }{\sqrt{2} }

                           VW = \frac{14\sqrt{3} }{\sqrt{2} }

           Above equation becomes,

                                     tan a =\frac{\frac{14\sqrt{3} }{\sqrt{2} } }           {\frac{14\sqrt{3} }{\sqrt{2} } }

                                      tan a = 1

                                             a = tan^{-1} (1)

                                             a = 45°

                                 m∠x = a = 45°

Step:5

            Check for solution,

                         m∠v  = m∠w + m∠x

                                   = 45° + 45°

                            90° =   90°

Result:

            The values are vx = \frac{14\sqrt{3} }{\sqrt{2} }, vw = \frac{14\sqrt{3} }{\sqrt{2} } and m∠x = 45°, for the given right angle diagram.
