It's impossible because there are no like terms.
The first thing we must do for this case is find the number of total guitarists.
We have then:

We now look for the relationship between the number of guitarists playing jazz alone to the total number of guitarists.
We have then:

Where,
x: number of guitarists playing jazz alone
From here, we clear the value of x.

Then, the number of guitarists who play classical solo is:

Answer:
30 guitarists play classical solos in the contest
Answer:
sqrt(277) =x
x is approximately 16.64331698
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a right triangle since 14 is tangent to the circle and 9 is a radius
We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem
a^2 +b^2 =c^2
9^2+14^2 =x^2
81+196 = x^2
277 = x^2
Taking the square root of each side
sqrt(277) = sqrt(x^2)
sqrt(277) =x
