Answer:
This case has NO solutions.
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that you are in a case of an obtuse triangle (one of its angles is larger than 90 degrees), the side opposite to the obtuse triangle is shorter than the side adjacent to the angle, so no actual triangle can be formed.
This can be found by simply trying to apply the Law of Sines to solve for the value of angle "B" opposite to side "b":

As shown above, we get an impossible mathematical condition (also call an absurd), since the sine of an angle cannot give a value larger than 1 (one).
Therefore, there is no angle we can find to build a triangle with the given data.
I'm assuming you meant to write a^4 = 625.
If that is the case, then note how 625 = 25^2, and how a^4 is the same as (a^2)^2
So we go from this
a^4 = 625
to this
(a^2)^2 = 25^2
Apply the square root to both sides and you'll end up with: a^2 = 25
From here, apply the square root again to end up with the final answer: a = 5 or a = -5
As a check:
a^4 = (-5)^4 = (-5)*(-5)*(-5)*(-5) = 25*25 = 625
a^4 = (5)^4 = (5)*(5)*(5)*(5) = 25*25 = 625
Both values of 'a' work out
Answer:
take the total number of all x variables
26+0.08x=8+0.13x
26-8=0.13x-0.08x
18=0.05x
x=18/0.05=360 min
