Answer:
-429/629
Step-by-step explanation:
Use angle difference formula:
sin(x − y) = sin x cos y − sin y cos x
Assuming x and y are in the first quadrant:
sin(x − y) = sin x cos y − √(1 − cos²y)√(1 − sin²x)
Plugging in values:
sin(x − y) = (8/17) (12/37) − √(1 − (12/37)²)√(1 − (8/17)²)
sin(x − y) = (8/17) (12/37) − (35/37)(15/17)
sin(x − y) = -429/629
