Solution steps

\frac{50}{33} = \frac{sin ( x )}{sin ( 12 0 ^{\circ} - x )}

Switch sides

Rewrite using trig identities

\frac{sin ( x )}{sin ( 12 0 ^{\circ} - x )} = \frac{50}{33}

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (12 0^{\circ} - x)

Use the Angle Difference identity:

sin (s - t) = sin (s) cos (t) - cos (s) sin (t)

= sin (12 0^{\circ}) cos (x) - cos (12 0^{\circ}) sin (x)

Simplify

sin (12 0^{\circ}) cos (x) - cos (12 0^{\circ}) sin (x) : \frac{3}{2} cos (x) + \frac{1}{2} sin (x)

sin (12 0^{\circ}) cos (x) - cos (12 0^{\circ}) sin (x)

= \frac{3}{2} cos (x) - cos (12 0^{\circ}) sin (x)

Simplify

cos (12 0^{\circ}) : - \frac{1}{2}

cos (12 0^{\circ})

Use the following trivial identity:

= - \frac{1}{2}

= \frac{3}{2} cos (x) - (- \frac{1}{2} sin (x))

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= \frac{3}{2} cos (x) + \frac{1}{2} sin (x)

= \frac{3}{2} cos (x) + \frac{1}{2} sin (x)

\frac{sin ( x )}{\frac{3}{2} cos ( x ) + \frac{1}{2} sin ( x )} = \frac{50}{33}

\frac{sin ( x )}{\frac{3}{2} cos ( x ) + \frac{1}{2} sin ( x )} = \frac{50}{33}

Subtract

\frac{50}{33}

from both sides

\frac{sin ( x )}{\frac{3}{2} cos ( x ) + \frac{1}{2} sin ( x )} - \frac{50}{33} = 0

Simplify

\frac{sin ( x )}{\frac{3}{2} cos ( x ) + \frac{1}{2} sin ( x )} - \frac{50}{33} : \frac{16 sin ( x ) - 50 3 cos ( x )}{33 ( 3 cos ( x ) + sin ( x ) )}

\frac{sin ( x )}{\frac{3}{2} cos ( x ) + \frac{1}{2} sin ( x )} - \frac{50}{33}

\frac{sin ( x )}{\frac{3}{2} cos ( x ) + \frac{1}{2} sin ( x )} = \frac{2 sin ( x )}{3 cos ( x ) + sin ( x )}

\frac{sin ( x )}{\frac{3}{2} cos ( x ) + \frac{1}{2} sin ( x )}

\frac{3}{2} cos (x) = \frac{3 cos ( x )}{2}

\frac{3}{2} cos (x)

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

= \frac{3 cos ( x )}{2}

\frac{1}{2} sin (x) = \frac{sin ( x )}{2}

\frac{1}{2} sin (x)

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

= \frac{1 \cdot sin ( x )}{2}

Multiply:

1 \cdot sin (x) = sin (x)

= \frac{sin ( x )}{2}

= \frac{sin ( x )}{\frac{3 c o s ( x )}{2} + \frac{s i n ( x )}{2}}

Combine the fractions

\frac{3 cos ( x )}{2} + \frac{sin ( x )}{2} : \frac{3 cos ( x ) + sin ( x )}{2}

Apply rule

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{3 cos ( x ) + sin ( x )}{2}

= \frac{sin ( x )}{\frac{3 c o s ( x ) + s i n ( x )}{2}}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{a}{\frac{b}{c}} = \frac{a \cdot c}{b}

= \frac{sin ( x ) \cdot 2}{3 cos ( x ) + sin ( x )}

= \frac{2 sin ( x )}{3 cos ( x ) + sin ( x )} - \frac{50}{33}

Adjust Fractions based on the LCM

Multiply each numerator by the same amount needed to multiply its

corresponding denominator to turn it into the LCM

33 (3 cos (x) + sin (x))

For

\frac{sin ( x ) \cdot 2}{3 cos ( x ) + sin ( x )} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

33

\frac{sin ( x ) \cdot 2}{3 cos ( x ) + sin ( x )} = \frac{sin ( x ) \cdot 2 \cdot 33}{( 3 cos ( x ) + sin ( x ) ) \cdot 33} = \frac{66 sin ( x )}{33 ( 3 cos ( x ) + sin ( x ) )}

For

\frac{50}{33} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

3 cos (x) + sin (x)

\frac{50}{33} = \frac{50 ( 3 cos ( x ) + sin ( x ) )}{33 ( 3 cos ( x ) + sin ( x ) )}

= \frac{66 sin ( x )}{33 ( 3 cos ( x ) + sin ( x ) )} - \frac{50 ( 3 cos ( x ) + sin ( x ) )}{33 ( 3 cos ( x ) + sin ( x ) )}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{66 sin ( x ) - 50 ( 3 cos ( x ) + sin ( x ) )}{33 ( 3 cos ( x ) + sin ( x ) )}

Expand

66 sin (x) - 50 (3 cos (x) + sin (x)) : 16 sin (x) - 503 cos (x)

66 sin (x) - 50 (3 cos (x) + sin (x))

Expand

- 50 (3 cos (x) + sin (x)) : - 503 cos (x) - 50 sin (x)

- 50 (3 cos (x) + sin (x))

Apply the distributive law:

a (b + c) = ab + a c

a = - 50, b = 3 cos (x), c = sin (x)

= - 503 cos (x) + (- 50) sin (x)

Apply minus-plus rules

+ (- a) = - a

= - 503 cos (x) - 50 sin (x)

= 66 sin (x) - 503 cos (x) - 50 sin (x)

Add similar elements:

66 sin (x) - 50 sin (x) = 16 sin (x)

= 16 sin (x) - 503 cos (x)

= \frac{16 sin ( x ) - 50 3 cos ( x )}{33 ( 3 cos ( x ) + sin ( x ) )}

\frac{16 sin ( x ) - 50 3 cos ( x )}{33 ( 3 cos ( x ) + sin ( x ) )} = 0

\frac{f ( x )}{g ( x )} = 0 \Rightarrow f (x) = 0

16 sin (x) - 503 cos (x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

16 sin (x) - 503 cos (x) = 0

Divide both sides by

cos (x), cos (x) \neq = 0

\frac{16 sin ( x ) - 50 3 cos ( x )}{cos ( x )} = \frac{0}{cos ( x )}

Simplify

\frac{16 sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} - 503 = 0

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

\frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} = tan (x)

16 tan (x) - 503 = 0

16 tan (x) - 503 = 0

Move

503

to the right side

16 tan (x) - 503 = 0

Add

503

to both sides

16 tan (x) - 503 + 503 = 0 + 503

Simplify

16 tan (x) = 503

16 tan (x) = 503

Divide both sides by

16

16 tan (x) = 503

Divide both sides by

16

\frac{16 tan ( x )}{16} = \frac{50 3}{16}

Simplify

tan (x) = \frac{25 3}{8}

tan (x) = \frac{25 3}{8}

Apply trig inverse properties

tan (x) = \frac{25 3}{8}

General solutions for

tan (x) = \frac{25 3}{8}

tan (x) = a \Rightarrow x = arctan (a) + 18 0^{\circ} n

x = arctan (\frac{25 3}{8}) + 18 0^{\circ} n

x = arctan (\frac{25 3}{8}) + 18 0^{\circ} n
