The value of x + y is 12

<h3>How to solve for x + y?</h3>

The equation is given as:

x^3 - y^3 = 218

Make x^3 the subject

x^3 = 218 + y^3

The next cubic expression greater than 218 is 343.

So, we assume

x^3 = 343

This gives

x = 7

Substitute x^3 = 343 in x^3 = 218 + y^3

343 = 218 + y^3

Evaluate the like terms

y^3 = 125

This gives

y = 5

So, we have:

x + y = 7 + 5

Evaluate

x + y = 12

Hence, the value of x + y is 12

Choose the TWO factored binominals for the expression: x2+6x – 27 Question 6 options: A) (x - 3) B) (x - 9) C) (x + 6) D) (x + 9

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

A) x-3 and D) x+9

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 6x - 27

You need to find two numbers that multiply to -27 and add up to 6

Those two numbers are -3 and 9, because 9 * -3 = -27 and 9+ -3 = 6

So you add those to x and those are your two factored binomials

(x-3) and (x+9)

Lucy’s chocolate bar is 54% cocoa. If the weight of the chocolate bar is 54 grams, how many grams of cocoa does it contain? Roun

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

The chocolate bar contains 29.2 grams of cocoa.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Lucy’s chocolate bar is 54% cocoa and the weight of the chocolate bar is 54 grams.

Hence, the amount of cocoa in the chocolate bar is given by

54% of 54 grams

54% percentage means 54/100 = 0.54

Hence, the amount of cocoa in the chocolate bar is

$0.54\times54\\=29.16$

When rounded to the nearest tenth, 29.16 should be equal to 29.2

Hence, the chocolate bar contains 29.2 grams of cocoa.

Can someone please help

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

x=3, y= - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 3y = 6

x-3y= 9

x=9+3y

4.(9+3y)+3y=6

36+12y+3y=6

15y = - 30

y = - 2

=> x= 9+3y

x= 9+ 3.(- 2)

x= 3
