22=18+8cos((x+9)/(12)pi)

Solution

22 = 18 + 8 cos (\frac{x + 9}{12} π)

Solution

x = 24 n - 5, x = 24 n + 11

Degrees

x = - 286.47889 \dots^{\circ} + 1375.09870 \dots^{\circ} n, x = 630.25357 \dots^{\circ} + 1375.09870 \dots^{\circ} n

Solution steps

22 = 18 + 8 cos (\frac{x + 9}{12} π)

Switch sides

18 + 8 cos (\frac{x + 9}{12} π) = 22

Move

18

to the right side

18 + 8 cos (\frac{x + 9}{12} π) = 22

Subtract

18

from both sides

18 + 8 cos (\frac{x + 9}{12} π) - 18 = 22 - 18

Simplify

8 cos (\frac{x + 9}{12} π) = 4

8 cos (\frac{x + 9}{12} π) = 4

Divide both sides by

8

8 cos (\frac{x + 9}{12} π) = 4

Divide both sides by

8

\frac{8 cos ( \frac{x + 9}{12} π )}{8} = \frac{4}{8}

Simplify

cos (\frac{x + 9}{12} π) = \frac{1}{2}

cos (\frac{x + 9}{12} π) = \frac{1}{2}
