Answer

$x \approx 7.4$

Work Step by Step

Apply the Law of Sines. $\dfrac{\sin A}{a} =\dfrac{\sin B}{b} =\dfrac{\sin C}{c} $ Rearrange the above two ratio setup to obtain: $\dfrac{\sin A}{a} =\dfrac{\sin B}{b}\\\dfrac{\sin 48^{\circ}}{x} =\dfrac{\sin 93^{\circ}}{10} \\ x=\dfrac{10 \sin 48^{\circ}}{\sin 93^{\circ}} ~~~(1)$ After using a calculator, the equation (1) becomes: $x \approx 7.4$
