Find the value of x when 5 sin x=12 cos x.
Round your number to the nearest degree.
I started by dividing both sides by cos x and then by 5 to get sin x/cos x but then I got stuck. I know that equation equals tan x but is that any help?

given is $$5\sin(x)=12\cos(x)$$ dividing by $$\cos(x)\ne 0$$ we obtain $$5\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}=12$$ dividing by $5$ we get $$\tan(x)=\frac{12}{5}$$ can you proceed?
