Answer:

tan A = -15/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

sin^2a = 1 - cos^2A

= 1 - (-8/17)^2

= 225/289

So sin A= 15/17

tan A = sin A / cos A

= 15/17 / -8/17

= 15/-8

= -15/8.

Step-by-step explanation

First Multiply 2 by 3.

6 + 10 x 2 - 4 x (2y) - 20xy

Then Multiply 10 by 2.

6+20-4x(2y)-20xy

After that Multiply 2 by -4.

6+20-8y-20xy

Lastly add 6 and 20.
