What is the second step?(1 point)
Responses

divide both sides by the cos(42)
divide both sides by the cos(42)

multiply both sides by cos(42)
multiply both sides by cos(42)

divide both sides by x
divide both sides by x

divide both sides by 42
divide both sides by 42

x is by itself, so you put the other side of the equation in your calculator

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( \cos(42) = \frac{18}{x} \), let's break down the steps one by one:

**First Step:**
To isolate \( x \), you should multiply both sides by \( x \). This gives you:

\[
x \cdot \cos(42) = 18
\]

So, the correct response for the first step is:
- **multiply both sides by x**

**Second Step:**
Now, you want to solve for \( x \). To do this, you will divide both sides by \( \cos(42) \):

\[
x = \frac{18}{\cos(42)}
\]

So, the correct response for the second step is:
- **divide both sides by the cos(42)**

In summary:
1. **First step:** multiply both sides by x
2. **Second step:** divide both sides by the cos(42)
