The student used the wrong trig ratio. They should use cosine instead.

\cos(\text{angle}) = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}\\\\\cos(x) = \frac{9}{29}\\\\x = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{9}{29}\right)\\\\x \approx 71.9^{\circ}\\\\

If the student wanted to use sine, then they would need to use the pythagorean theorem to find the opposite side first. I recommend using cosine since it's faster. Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.

Answer:

x = 71.9 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

cos x= 9÷29

cos x= 0.31

x =cos-1(0.31)

x = 71.9 degrees

Answer:

  x = 42

Step-by-step explanation:

The marked angles are supplementary, so their sum is 180°.

  (2x +8) +(2x +4) = 180

  4x +12 = 180 . . . . . . . . . simplify

  x +3 = 45 . . . . . . . divide by 4 (because we can)

  x = 42 . . . . . . subtract 3

<em>Additional comment</em>

A "two-step" linear equation like this one is usually solved by subtracting the unwanted constant, then dividing by the coefficient of the variable. Here, we have done those steps in reverse order. This makes the numbers smaller and  eliminates the coefficient of the variable. Sometimes I find it easier to solve the equation this way.
