We start with the more complicated side which is the left side, and show that, on using some trigonometric identities, we will get the term on the right side .

Using Quotient identity for tangent function, we will get


Taking out sine function from the numerator

Cancelling the common term of numerator and denominator

Answer: 2w + 4 = 35
Step-by-step explanation:
Carl's two checked bags and his one backpack together weigh 35kg.
Carl's two checked bags have equal weight so both their weight can be denoted as 2w.
Equation is;
2w + 4 = 35
If you were to solve;
2w + 4 = 35
2w = 35 - 4
w = 31/2
w = 15.5kg
