How do you simplify (25/a -a l) / (5+a)

Simplify the following:

(25/a - a l)/(a + 5)

Put each term in 25/a - a l over the common denominator a: 25/a - a l = 25/a - (a^2 l)/a:

(25/a - (a^2 l)/a)/(a + 5)

25/a - (a^2 l)/a = (25 - a^2 l)/a:

((25 - a^2 l)/a)/(a + 5)

  21.3

step-by-step explanation:

multiplying the given equation by c/sin(25°), we get

  c = 9/sin(25°) ≈ 21.2958 ≈ 21.3

we assume "c" is the length of ab, the side opposite angle c in triangle abc.
