Use trigonometry to solve for x.
The tangent function is defined to be opposite side divided by the adjacent side.
tan(78) = x/10
tan(78)(10) = x
47.0463010948 = x
We now round off to two decimal places. In other words, we round off to the nearest tenths.
47.05 = x
Done!
First Divide both sides by -5.73
-5.73q/-5.73=97.41/-5.73
Answer: q=-17
He is making $9 an hour bc 81/9=9
