4cos(x) = 3
solve this

41.4 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Find cos x by dividing both sides of this equation by 4:

cos x = 3/4 = 0.75

Using a calculator's inverse cosine function, find x:

arccos 0.75 = 0.723 radian, or

0.723 rad     180 deg

* = 41.4 degrees

        1             pi rad

y = 0.77(x)

step-by-step explanation:

the jacket retains this value after 23% cut or retains 77% of original value. plug original 87 jacket price for x and the remaining value should be y.

3< x< 5

step-by-step explanation:

|x - 4| < 1

there are two solutions, one positive and one negative.   remember to flip the inequality when taking the negative solution

x-4 < 1       x-4 > -1

add 4 to each side

x-4+4 < 1+4       x-4+4 > -1+4

x< 5                 x> 3

3< x< 5
