It’s not C. I’m unsure as well, but I think the answer is B, after all, only a few countries wanted slaves for labor. The rest needed goods and supplies, etc. I hope it helped :3
Include a pic and choices like
A
B
D
<span> x =(-78+√6144)/2=-39+16√<span> 6 </span>= 0.192
</span>Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :
<span> (x^2+78*x)^1/5-(3)=0
</span><span> x2 + 78x
Simplify ————————
5
</span>
Pull out like factors :
<span> x2 + 78x</span> = x • (x + 78)
<span>x • (x + 78)
———————————— - 3 = 0
