Answer:

$x\approx 63.4^(\circ)$

Explanation:

We have been given a trigonometric equation
$\text{tan}(x)=2$ . We are asked to solve for x.

To find the value of x, we will use inverse tangent (arctan) as shown below:

$x=\text{tan}^(-1)(2)$

Upon using a calculator, we will get:

$x=63.43494882^(\circ)$

Upon rounding our answer to nearest tenth, we will get:

$x\approx 63.4^(\circ)$

Therefore, the value of x is approximately 63.4 degrees.
