recall that sin²(θ) + cos²(θ) = 1, thus sin²(θ) = 1 - cos²(θ).
-3s-5=4 First add 5 to both sides of the equal sign to cancel out -5
+5 +5 You're left with -3s=9
-3s=9 Divide by -3 on both sides. This cancels out the -3s. 9 divided by -3 equals -3. The answer would be s=-3
The answer is B, because 44 is greater than 42. I hope this helps!
