Find two consecutive numbers whose cubes differ by 631

Mathematics
1 answer:
yan [13]3 years ago
4 0
Let the two numbers be x and y, in which x is larger than y. From these variables, we can formulate the following equations:

x = y + 1  --> eqn 1
x³ - y³ = 631 --> eqn 2

Since there are two unknowns and two independent equations, this system is solvable. Substitute equation 1 to equation 2, then solve for y.

(y + 1)³ - y³ = 631
Solving for y,
y = 14
x = y + 1  = 14 + 1 = 15

<em>Therefore, the two consecutive numbers are 14 and 15.</em>

faltersainse [42]
A.
because the total distance of every triangle 180. Add the two other angles so 42+ 57 =99. Then you have to subtract those two combined angles to find the missing one from the total distance, which is 180. 180-99=81. the answer is A. 81

Determine the possible side lengths of the third side of a triangle with known side lengths 3 and 6. answers: –3 &lt; c &lt; –9
vovangra [49]

Answer:

3 < c < 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of a side of a triangle cannot be negative. This eliminates the first and last options.

The addition of two sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side. In this case:

3 + 6 = 9 > c

So, the second option is correct. The third option is not correct, because, for example, c = 8 is possible
