Math Problem Statement
Solve the equation: tan(45) = ( (9 - y) / 5 - 6 / 11 ) / ( 1 + ( (9 - y) / 5 ) * (6 / 11) ).
Solution
The equation you provided is:
Since , we can set the left side equal to 1:
Next, let's solve for .
Step 1: Multiply both sides of the equation by the denominator on the right-hand side to clear the fraction:
This simplifies to:
Step 2: Eliminate the fractions by multiplying through by the least common denominator (LCD) of 55 (since 5 and 11 are the denominators):
Simplifying the fractions:
The term on the left simplifies as: [ 55 + 6(9 - y) =
