Answer:  The required quantity is 7.5.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to solve the following problem by Rhind Papyrus :

To find a quantity such that when it is added to itself, the result is a 15.

Let x represents the required quantity. Then, the modern day equation that models this problem will be

x+x=15~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

The solution of equation (i) is as follows :

x+x=15\\\\\Rightarrow 2x=15\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{15}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow x=7.5.

Thus, the required quantity is 7.5.

Which expression is the completely factored form of x6−64y3 ?
ss7ja [257]

We are given this

x^6 -64y^3

write it as the difference of cubes

(x^2)^3 -(4y)^3

use the formula for the difference of cubes

(x^2-4y) ((x^2)^2+x^2*4y+(4y)^2)

Now use the formula for the difference of squares as 4y = (2\sqrt{y} )^2

(x-2\sqrt{y}) (x+2\sqrt{y}) (x^4+4x^2y+16y^2)
