Trigonometry help!

So the question is:
Given that 2sin(theta)=3cos(theta), find the value of tan(theta).
Please help😂
Divide by cosθ\cos \theta and use tanθ=sinθcosθ\tan \theta = \dfrac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}
As Bobb has said.

Your first step in a case where your trigonometric equation involves different trig functions is to manipulate the equation to turn it into one of your identities/whatever it is you need.

Perhaps a little too much help for a first response?
