What is the x if 9l5x-3l = 90

Given the equation:


9 l 5x-3
l = 90


We need to solve for
x.


First, we need to isolate the absolute value on the left
side by itself.


Then, we will divide by 9 both
sides.


==> l 5x-3 l =
10


Now we have two
cases:


Case(1): (5x-3) =
10


==> 5x =
13


==> x= 13/5


Case(2):
-(5x-3) = 10


==> -5x +3 =
10


==> -5x =
7


==> x = -7/5


Then, we
have two answers:


x = -7/5 and
x=13/5

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
