To solve
if you have |a|=b, solve a=b and a=-b
|4x+12|=16
solve
4x+12=16 and 4x+12=-16
minus 12 both sides
4x=4 and 4x=-28
divide both sides by 4
x=1 and x=-7
From the law of sines, we have

where
is the leg we're interested in,
is the hypothenuse,
is the angle opposite to
, and
is the angle between
and
.
So, in the first case, we can use

And in the second excercise, we use

The answers is 96
Dont u just add?
X^2+16-38=0
find what 2 numbers multiply to get -38 and add to get 16
find factors of 38
2 times 19
there is no way to use common factor so use quadratic formula which is
x=

or x=

ax^2+bx+c=0 subsitte
a=1
b=16
c=-38
subsitute

=

=

=

=

so the answers for x are

and

which are aprox -2.099504938362 and +18.099504938362
so it would be
(x-[-8+√102])(x+[8+√102])=0
