Answer:

$x^3-x^2.$

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "difference" represents a subtraction. Then the algebraic expression will be of the form a-b.

Now, the difference is between the cube of a number and the square of the number, then let's call the number x. The square of the number is raise to two. Then the square of the number is $x^2$ .

The cube of the number is raise to three. Then the cube of the number is $x^3$ .

So, the difference between the cube of a number and the square of the number (we are talking about the same number in the square and the cube) is $x^3-x^2$ .

What is 16 divided by X^2 equals 8 divided by X + 6?

zaharov [31]

Solve: $\frac{16}{x^{2}} = \frac{8}{x + 6}$

$\frac{16}{x^{2}} = \frac{8}{x + 6}$

$\text{Cross multiply: } 16(x + 6) = 8x^{2}$
$\text{Simplify: } 2(x + 6) = x^{2}$
$\text{Expand: } 2x + 12 = x^{2}$

$\text{Solve for x: } x^{2} - 2x - 12 = 0$

$\text{Use the quadratic equation: } x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac}}{2a}$
$x = \frac{2 \pm \sqrt{4 + 48}}{2}$
$x = \frac{2 \pm \sqrt{52}}{2}$
$x = \frac{2 \pm \sqrt{13 \cdot 4}}{2}$

$x = \frac{2 \pm 2\sqrt{13}}{2}$
$\therefore x = 1 \pm \sqrt{13}$
