Answer:

x = -3 or x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 9 from both sides.

x^2 - 9 = 0

Factor the left side. There is no common factor of the terms. It is a binomial which is the difference of two squares, so it factors into the product of a sum and a difference.

(x + 3)(x - 3) = 0

Set each factor equal to zero.

x + 3 = 0 or x - 3 = 0

Solve each equation.

x = -3 or x = 3

Tan 18 = opposite side/adjacent side

0.3249 = 4/adjacent side

and adjacent side = 4/0.3249 = 12.31

Now let's apply Pythagoras to find x

4² + 12.31² = x²
16 + 151.55 = x² and x² = 167.55
Then x = √167.55 and x = 12.94 ≈ 13
