can anyone show me how to solve this:

sin(3x-26) = cos(5x-60), solve for x? (the answer is 22)

in order to solve this problem, you first need to know that
cos @ = sin (90-@) ; @ = theta

so here you can just write above equation as
90-3x+26 = 5x - 60
x = 22

What if 22 is not listed? What would you expect to see there? 😉
