First put it in standard form:
<span>x^2 −14x -15 =0
a =1 b =-14 c=-15
Then use the quadratic formula:
x = [-b +-sq root (b^2 - 4ac)] / 2a
x = [--14 +- sq root (14^2 -4*1*-15] / 2*1
x = [14 +-sq root (196 +60)] / 2
</span><span>x = [14 +- 16] / 2
x1 = 15
x2 = -1
</span>
Answer:
x = 0 or 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving an exponential equation of this nature with different bases and coefficients is always a bit of an ad hoc affair. Here, we can divide by the right side expression and make a substitution that turns it into a quadratic.

<em>Additional comment</em>
A graphing calculator often solves these very nicely, especially when the equation is put into the form f(x) = 0.
Since all angles in a triangle are equal to 180 and you already have two angles you just have to subtract.
So, 180-(65 + 45)
Simplify = 180- 110
Equals = 70
