Solve Tan Equation Be1C68
1. **State the problem:** Solve the equation $$4(\tan x - 1) = 3(5 - 2 \tan x)$$ for $$0 < x < 360$$ degrees.
2. **Write the equation:** $$4\tan x - 4 = 15 - 6\tan x$$
3. **Group like terms:** Move all terms involving $$\tan x$$ to one side and constants to the other:
$$4\tan x + 6\tan x = 15 + 4$$
4. **Simplify:**
$$10\tan x = 19$$
5. **Solve for $$\tan x$$:**
$$\tan x = \frac{19}{10} = 1.9$$
6. **Find general solutions:** The tangent function has period 180 degrees, so solutions are:
$$x = \arctan(1.9) + k \times 180^\circ$$ for integers $$k$$.
7. **Calculate principal value:**
$$x_1 = \arctan(1.9) \approx 62.74^\circ$$
8. **Find second solution in $$0 < x < 360$$:**
$$x_2 = 62.74^\circ + 180^\circ = 242.74^\circ$$
9. **Final answer:**
$$x \approx 62.74^\circ, 242.74^\circ$$
These are the two solutions for $$x$$ in the interval $$0 < x < 360$$ degrees.
