Assuming that "log" is the common logarithm (base 10) and that the angle is in radians, x=1.160501. I cheated, though, and used a graphing calculator once I got it down to -12xlog(x+1/4)=tan(x+4). Summer has blitzed my mind and I've forgotten the necessary calculus to solve this completely by hand. (I'm pretty sure calculus can solve it, at least.)

It's possible to solve an equation like this by hand?!

Totally the entire left side is solvable by any freshman with half a brain. the tangent and Log is a different matter, but this can be solved entirely by hand.

An hour and 45 minutes? Why do schools give so much homework to kids in one class? It's not like they're the only class we have!
