Answer:
C. Divide both sides of the equation by -2.
Step-by-step explanation:
The goal of the equation is to isolate x. In order to do that we have to remove the '-2' by doing the inverse operation. That is the opposite operation, for example addition and subtraction, multiplication and division.
Since x is being multiplied by -2, we do the inverse which is division.
Answers:
x = 24
y = 8√3
Explanation:
1) Since, the given triangle is a right triangle, and you have both an angle and the hypotenuse length, you can use some trigonometric ratios to find the variables.
2) The variables given represent:
x: adjacent-leg to angle 30°
y: opposite length to angle 30°
3) sine ratio:
sin 30° = opposite-leg / hypotenuse = y / (16√3)
⇒ y = 16√3 sin 30° = 16√3 × (1/2) = 8√3
4) cosine ratio
cos 30° = adjacent-leg / hypotenuse = x / (16√3)
⇒ x = 16√3 cos 30° = 16√3 (√3 / 2) = 16 × 3 / 2 = 24
