Answer:

Javon is incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to subtract 5 both sides to move it to the other side:

5 -2x -1/3 = 4

5 - 5 - 2x - 1/3 = 4 -5

-2x - 1/3 = -1

Find the value of x. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. tan 12 degrees= ten over (x)

Lorico [155]

Tan(12)=-0.6358599287. That means -0.6358599287 = 10/x so you can swap the x to the other side to make x = 10/-0.6358599287 Which equals -15.7 rounded to the nearest tenth.
