Answer: Choice B) 12

======================================

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the law of sines which is

sin(A)/a = sin(B)/b

A and B are the angles, with 'a' and 'b' as the opposite sides (side 'a' is opposite angle A, b is opposite angle B)

In this case, we have A = 4x, a = 35, B = 84, and b = 47, so we can say...

sin(A)/a = sin(B)/b

sin(4x)/35 = sin(84)/47

sin(4x) = 35*sin(84)/47

sin(4x) = 0.7406014 ..... make sure your calc is in degree mode

4x = arcsin(0.7406014)

4x = 47.7826708

x = 47.7826708/4

x = 11.9456677

x = 12 .... rounding to the nearest whole number
