Hi mercedesbenz!

ok … a hint, as you asked for …

First, try answering: what are the coefficients of $$x^{90}$$ and of $$x^{89}$$ ?

29. Find x from this equation $$\frac{108}{\sqrt{x^2-2916}}=\frac{378-x-\sqrt{x^2-2916}}{x+54}$$.

You can simplify this slightly, before solving it:

Hint: what is √2916? What is 378/√2916?
