x=20.6 is the answer because you type Tan-1(3/8) in the calculator to get the answer because you are trying to get x by its self

The value of x is:

20.556 degrees.

We are asked to find the angle x such that we are given a tangent trigonometric function corresponding to the angle x as follows:

$\tan x=(3)/(8)$

Now, on taking inverse trigonometric function on both the sides of the equation we have:

$x=\tan^(-1) (3)/(8)$

This means that:

$x=20.556\ \text{degrees}$
