Obviously this will be a negative number

-2 - 14 = 5x - 3x

-16 = 2x

x = %28-16%29%2F2

x = -8 is the number

Check solution in the original statement: x=-8

3(-8) - 2 = 5(-8) + 14

-24 - 2 = -40 + 14

-26 = -26

Find sin(A), cos(A), and tan(A) for the triangle pictured

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

See below ~

Step-by-step explanation:

sin (A) = opposing side / hypotenuse

sin(A) = 5√29

cos(A) = adjacent side / hypotenuse

cos(A) = 2/√29

tan(A) = opposing side / adjacent side

tan(A) = 5/2 = 2.5
