You can put this solution on YOUR website!
3coshx + 5sinhx = 8
\n" ); document.write( "FOR SIMPLICITY LET US DENOTE ....E^X=A...SO ...E^(-X)=1/A...HENCE
\n" ); document.write( "COSH X = (A+1/A)/2...AND .....SINH X=(A-1/A)/2...SO WE HAVE
\n" ); document.write( "3(A+1/A)/2+5(A-1/A)/2=8...MULTIPLYING BY 2
\n" ); document.write( "3A+3/A+5A-5/A=16
\n" ); document.write( "8A-2/A=16.....DIVIDING BY 2 WE GET
\n" ); document.write( "4A-1/A-8=0....OR MULTIPLYING BY A...
\n" ); document.write( "4A^2-8A-1=0
\n" ); document.write( "USING QUADRATIC FORMULA..\"x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+\"
