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
