Answer: A.30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

8x−3(2x−4)=3(x−6)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

8x−3(2x−4)=3(x−6)

8x+(−3)(2x)+(−3)(−4)=(3)(x)+(3)(−6)(Distribute)

8x+−6x+12=3x+−18

(8x+−6x)+(12)=3x−18(Combine Like Terms)

2x+12=3x−18

Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides.

2x+12−3x=3x−18−3x

−x+12=−18

Step 3: Subtract 12 from both sides.

−x+12−12=−18−12

−x=−30

Step 4: Divide both sides by -1.

−x/-1 = -30/-1

Not sure why such an old question is showing up on my feed...

Anyway, let $x=\tan^{-1}\dfrac43$ and $y=\sin^{-1}\dfrac35$ . Then we want to find the exact value of $\cos(x-y)$ .

Use the angle difference identity:

$\cos(x-y)=\cos x\cos y+\sin x\sin y$

and right away we find $\sin y=\dfrac35$ . By the Pythagorean theorem, we also find $\cos y=\dfrac45$ . (Actually, this could potentially be negative, but let's assume all angles are in the first quadrant for convenience.)

Meanwhile, if $\tan x=\dfrac43$ , then (by Pythagorean theorem) $\sec x=\dfrac53$ , so $\cos x=\dfrac35$ . And from this, $\sin x=\dfrac45$ .

So,

$\cos\left(\tan^{-1}\dfrac43-\sin^{-1}\dfrac35\right)=\dfrac35\cdot\dfrac45+\dfrac45\cdot\dfrac35=\dfrac{24}{25}$
