Entrance Exams

So a lot of people think that just because Cambodia is basically an impoverished third-world country with a pretty low literacy rate, its schools must be useless as well. Well, other than the fact that people cheat often, please allow me to completely disillusion you of that notion. Here's a problem from a college entrance exam that one of my students is taking this morning, which is similar to problems you find on the national high school exam, which you must pass to graduate:


Try to find the value of x without using WolframAlpha or some other CAS. Think you've got what it takes to get in to college in Cambodia?

Peace out.
