First, write put the information into an equation
2*(x+9) = 3*(x-7)
distribute the 2 and 3
2x + 18 = 3x - 21
Combine like terms (Xs and munbers) (in this case, it's easier to add 15 to both sides and subtract 2x from both sides so both sides end up being positive)
33 = x
x=33
Answers
1) 4
2) 0, 2, -10
3) 0, 5, -2
Step-by-step explanation:
1) x³ - 64 = 0
x³ = 64
x = 4
2) x³(x² + 8x - 20) = 0
x³(x² + 10x - 2x - 20) = 0
x³(x(x + 10) - 2(x + 10)) = 0
x³(x + 10)(x - 2) = 0
x = 0, 2, -10
3) x³ - 3x² - 10x = 0
x(x² - 3x - 10) = 0
x(x² - 5x + 2x - 10) = 0
x(x(x - 5) + 2(x - 5)) = 0
x(x - 5)(x + 2) = 0
x = 0, 5, -2

Answer:
y = 8√3
Step-by-step explanation:
In the 30°-60°-90° "special" triangle, the ratio of sides lengths is ...
1 : √3 : 2 = 8 : y : hypotenuse
In order for these ratios to be equal, we must have ...
y = 8√3
__
If you want to solve this using your trig skills, you recognize that ...
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
tan(30°) = 8/y
y = 8/tan(30°) . . . . where tan(30°) = 1/√3
y = 8√3
