Ineed to know the steps of how they got 1 over 2

the simplified so 9 and 18 can both be divided by 9 so 9/18 dived by 9/9 would be 1/2 you can also but 9 divided by 18 in a calculator

(sin 42)/31. = sinx)/37

sinx = 37 (sin42)/31

= 37× 0.66/31 = 0.787

x= 51.9

other angle opposite to y = 180-51.9-42

= 180- 93.9 =86.1

so

sin42)/31 = sin 86.1)/y

0.021 = 0.997 /y

y= 0.997/0.021 =47.47
