Answer:
x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming 3x and x-60 are in degrees, you can use:
cos(a) = sin(a+90)
To rewrite the equation as:
sin(3x) = sin(x-60+90)
sin(3x) = sin(x+30)
3x = x+30
2x = 30
x = 15
But, solving 3x = x+30 which simplifies to x=15 is not the only solution to this equation, as you can see in below picture. Finding all solutions is a bit more work, but maybe that is not required in your case.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We have to assume that the question is referring to the doubly-shaded length, the one that is 10 bright blue units long.
You can read the overall length of the shaded area as 5/4, from the markings.
For the next part, you need to count the number of units that are shaded bright blue (10) and the number that are shaded blue overall (15). As a fraction of those shaded blue overall, the ones shaded bright blue are 10/15 = 2/3.
So, the length shaded bright blue is 2/3 of the overall length of 5/4. It is represented by the product ...
