Answer:
8
Explanation:
[tex] \frac{1}{4} [/tex]cotx – 11 = -9
To solve algebraically, try to get cotx alone.
First, add 11 to both sides:
[tex] \frac{1}{4} [/tex]cotx – 11 + 11 = -9 + 11
[tex] \frac{1}{4} [/tex]cotx = 2
Now divide by [tex] \frac{1}{4} [/tex] on both sides, which is the same as multiplying the other side by 4:
[tex] \frac{1}{4} [/tex]cotx ÷ [tex] \frac{1}{4} [/tex] = 2 ÷ [tex] \frac{1}{4} [/tex]
cotx = 8
