Answer

21\text{21}

Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Use the identity sin⁡θ=cos⁡(90∘−θ)\sin \theta = \cos(90^\circ - \theta).

    Given sin⁡(5x−28)∘=cos⁡(3x−50)∘\sin(5x-28)^\circ = \cos(3x-50)^\circ.
    We can rewrite sin⁡(5x−28)∘\sin(5x-28)^\circ as cos⁡(90∘−(5x−28)∘)\cos(90^\circ - (5x-28)^\circ).

    cos⁡(90∘−(5x−28)∘)=cos⁡(3x−50)∘\cos(90^\circ - (5x-28)^\circ) = \cos(3x-50)^\circ
  2. Equate the angles since the cosine values are equal.

    90−(5x−28)=3x−5090 - (5x - 28) = 3x - 50 90−5x+28=3x−5090 - 5x + 28 = 3x - 50
  3. Solve for xx.

    118−5x=3x−50118 - 5x = 3x - 50

    Add 5x5x to both sides:

    118=8x−50118 = 8x - 50

    Add 50 to both sides:

    118+50=8x118 + 50 = 8x 168=8x168 = 8x

    Divide by 8:

    x=1688x = \frac{168}{8} x=21x = 21
  4. Check if the value of xx is within the given range 0<x<90∘0 < x < 90^\circ.

    Since x=21x = 21, and 0<21<900 < 21 < 90, the value is valid.

    The value of xx is 21\boxed{\text{21}}.
