Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We are going to use the identity
because this identities right hand side matches your expression where
and
.
So we have that
is equal to
.
3.3x =29.04
to find x divide both sides by 3.3
x = 29.04 / 3.3
x = 8.8

this is because when 40 is broken down into two numbers (one divisible to get out of the square root, and one not) you get 25 + 15 under the square root. we know that the square root of 25 is 5, so we can put 5 outside the root and leave 15 inside.
