zzz [600]1 year ago
4 0

Step-by-step explanation:

x^3 is a perfect cube, 8 is a perfect cube, so we use difference of cubes.

{a}^{3}  -  {b}^{3}  = (a - b)( {a}^{2}  + ab +  {b}^{2} )

Cube root of x^3 is x.

Cube root of 8 is 2

So

a=x

b= 2.

(x - 2)( {x}^{2}  - 2x + 4)

Set these equations equal to zero

x - 2 = 0

x = 2

{x}^{2}  - 2x + 4 = 0

If we do the discriminant, we get a negative answer so we would have two imaginary solutions,

Thus the only real root is 2.

If you want imaginary solutions, apply the quadratic formula.

1 + i  \sqrt{ 3 }

and

1 - i \sqrt{3}

6 - 2/3 (x+5) = 4x solve algebraically for the exact value of x
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1 - Rewrite

6 - 2/3 (x+5) = 4x

2 - Distribute

6 - 2/3x + 10/3 = 4x

3 - Combine like terms and get x alone

6 10/3 - 2/3x = 4x

           +2/3x  +2/3x

          6 10/3 = 4 2/3x

------------------------------- Convert to decimals

6.3333333333.... = 4.333...x

-------------------------------- Divide both sides by 4.33...x

2 = x

Hope this helps :)
