Answer:
3 = x
Step-by-step explanation:
0 > 3x - 3 - 6
You want to group up the -3 and -6 first
0 > 3x - 9
Then you want to add 9 to each side to cancel out the negative 9 on one side.
0 > 3x - 9
+9 +9
9 > 3x
Now you just divide by 3 on each side
3 = x
To solve this, it might be easier to draw it out (see the picture below). I split it into two triangles and used trig functions to find the altitude. I used the big triangle to find theta, and the used theta to find the side of the altitude. *remember that sine= opposite/hypotenuse*
