Correct. Just need to continue.

(32√3 + 8(3) + 196 + 49√3) / (16 - 3)

= (81√3 + 220) / 13

= 81/13 √3 + 220/13

b = 81/13 (or 6 3/13)

a = 220/13 (or 16 12/13)

If you use calculator to check the answer you'll realise both give you the same result

i.e key in (8√3 + 49) ÷ (4 - √3) and compare this with 81/13 √3 + 220/13.

It will be the same.


OR

in one step, key in (8√3 + 49) / (4 - √3) - (81/13 √3 + 220/13)


Since both are supposed to be the same, the result should be 0.

Again, you didn't simplify the equations.

8c√3 + c² = 8√3 + 49 - 48

8c√3 + c² = 8√3 + 1

Comparing coefficients of √3,

8c = 8
c = 1


Comparing coefficients of c²,

c² = 1

c = 1 or = -1(rejected as that would make 8c = -8, which is negative andwould not equal the 8 on the RHS)

Alternatively,

8c√3 + c² = 8√3 + 1

c² + 8√3 c - (8√3 + 1) = 0

(c - 1)(c + 8√3 + 1) = 0

c - 1 = 0 or c + 8√3 + 1 = 0

c = 1 or c = -8√3 - 1 (rejected , as this would mean the side of the square = 4√3 - 8√3 - 1
= -4√3 - 1, which is negative and we know that length cannot be negative)


So, c = 1
