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

Question 21

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

y=-2x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of one another. slope 1/2 perpendicular will be -2/1=-2

y-5=-2(x-(-2))

y-5=-2(x+2)

y-5=-2x-4

y=-2x-4+5

y=-2x+1

Joe’s hat shack has fixed cost of $1,000 per week. She buys hats that are $1,500 for 300 hard and she sells the hats for $12.50

katrin [286]

1000+1500=2500 is how much she owes right now
If each hat is sold for 12.50, all you have to do is 2500/12.50=200
She needs to sell 20 hats to break even.
