Answer:


x\approx31\°

Explanation:

Given expression:


\tan x=(3)/(5)

To solve for
x to nearest tenth.

Solution:

We have:


\tan x=(3)/(5)

In order to solve for
x we will tan inverse tan on both sides in order to isolate
x.


\tan^(-1)(\tan x)=\tan^(-1)(3)/(5)


x=\tan^(-1)(3)/(5) [ Since
\tan^(-1)(\tan \theta)=\theta]


x=30.96\°

We will round to nearest tenth. So,


x\approx31\° (Answer)
