Answer:


x\approx 63.4^(\circ)

Explanation:

We have been given a trigonometric equation
\text{tan}(x)=2. We are asked to solve for x.

To find the value of x, we will use inverse tangent (arctan) as shown below:


x=\text{tan}^(-1)(2)

Upon using a calculator, we will get:


x=63.43494882^(\circ)

Upon rounding our answer to nearest tenth, we will get:


x\approx 63.4^(\circ)

Therefore, the value of x is approximately 63.4 degrees.
