To solve this problem, all you need to
do is determine the numerical value for
each of the 45 unknowns (represented
by English and Greek letters), which are
defined below; then substitute these values
(very carefully) for
the corresponding letters in the equation
on this page and solve for x. Please bear
in mind the following:
1. In determining the unknowns, do
not strain to find unusual ways to interpret
any of the definitions. Some may be
tricky, but we believe that there is only
one correct answer for each, and it is in
all cases the most literal and straightforward one.
2. Wherever a square root radical appears in this problem,
evaluate it as yielding the positive square root only.
Standard mathematical usage is in effect
throughout the equation.
3. The value for X that appears on
your entry blank must be expressed in
simplest form. If your answer were 10/5,
you should write it simply as 2; if your
answer were 10/4, you should write it as
2 1/2.
