tan∠A - csc∠C = 3x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do you solve this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

At some point I got 3x sqrt74/5= 7/sqrt 74

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am confused because you have 3 variables, A, C and x. what are you trying to solve?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am solving for this :tan∠A - csc∠C = 3x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here are the variables

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tangent A= 7/sqrt 74 and csc C= sqrt74/5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hello?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk what you are saying

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its tangent a subtracted from cosecant C and those are the values of them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What the bannana are you talking about?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha

OpenStudy (shadowfiend):

Wait, I'm confused. So you have: \[\tan A - \csc C = 3x\] And: \begin{align} \tan A &= \frac{7}{\sqrt{74}}\\ \csc C &= \frac{\sqrt{74}}{5} \end{align} Right?

OpenStudy (shadowfiend):

jonh—please be respectful.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes that is right

OpenStudy (shadowfiend):

Ok, so you really have: \[\frac{7}{\sqrt{74}} - \frac{\sqrt{74}}{5} = 3x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes exactly

OpenStudy (shadowfiend):

First things first, I would do the subtraction on the left. Do you know how to do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you subtract the square?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, 3x = -39/(5*SQRT(74)) => x = -13/(5*SQRT(74))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did you use the values GT?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am kind of shaky on how to subtract with squares shadowfield
