Find two consecutive numbers whose cubes differ by 631

1 answer:

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>

I think this is describing

$(\sqrt[6]{x^5} )^7$

First step is we convert the sixth root to a 1/6 power,

$=((x^5)^{\frac 1 6})^7$

In general when we have a power raised to a power we get to multiply the exponents,

$=x^\frac{35}{6}$

That's our answer.

Answer:

X= 15

Step-by-step explanation:

the above equation will be used to determine the value of x.

6x-12= 2x+20+18

6x-2x = 20+12+18

4x= 60.

X= 60/4

X= 15

x = 15

Svetllana [295]

For area A, the width will be √(3A/4), so for the three rugs, the widths are 6 ft, 9 ft, 12 ft. Corresponding lengths are 4/3 times that, so are 8 ft, 12 ft, 16 ft.

The rug dimensions are
.. 6 ft x 8 ft
.. 9 ft x 12 ft
.. 12 ft x 16 ft

Pick the one(s) that are on your list.
