Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

5 less than a number is equivalent to 1 more than three times the number

number = x

x - 5 = 3x + 1

now im going to get the numbers and variable on different sides

x - 5 + 5 = x

3x + 1 - 3x = 1

x + 3x = 4x

1 - 5 = -4

4x = -4

lastly im going to divide each side by 4

4x / 4 = x

-4 / 4 = -1

x = -1

The answer is 88 5/6 .   If you were stuck try turning the fractions into improper fractions and multiply both of them and later divide the numerator by the denominator to have a mixed number.  You can later simplify the fraction to get 88 5/6.  If you need help don't be afraid to tell me in the comments!   Hope this helps :)

Answer: a) -13/16

Step-by-step explanation: Start by setting equations equal and rearrange X^3 - x^2 + 1 = 0. Visual inspection of graph shows x between -1 and -1/2. Start with x = 3/4 plug in and calculate: just a little too small. Try going halfway towards -1: x =-7/8 Plug in and the answer is very far from 0. Go halfway back towards -3/4: -13/16 and the equality is very close.
