Write a decimal subtraction problem that requires regrouping to solve. then solve the problem

1 answer:

5 0

For example, think about 8.4 - 2.9.

You have to regroup because you can't subract 4 - 9.
4 turns into a 14 since you borrow from the left number, 8.
8 turns into a 7 after that.
Now, you have to subtract 14 - 9 and 7 - 2. You're answer is 5.5.
You can check your work by doing inverse opperations:
By adding:
5.5 + 2.9 = 8.4
Or by subracting 8.4 - 5.5 = 2.9

Hope this helped you! If you need a better explaination or another example, I will be happy to help you! :)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You can start this in may ways but let's start by isolating one of the parenthesis:

x (x² - 5) = - (x - 3)

x³ - 5x = -x + 3 (here I multiplied x for what's inside the parenthesis and the "minus" signal by the other parenthesis which was (x - 3))

x³ - 5x + x = 3

x³ -4x = 3

x³ -4x -3 = 0 (now this right here is a "depressed cubic equation" and it's one of the toughest sit of all time, so good luck with that, you might wanna take a look at this:

ytb/watch?v=rNDy2ZFvG1E

or maybe I'm doing something wrong and it's simpler than that, but whaterver...)
