Answer: -4
Step-by-step explanation:
3-9=-6
-6*5=-30
-30-1=-31
6*-31=-186
-186+2=-184
8-2=6
6*7=42
42+4=46.
-184/46=-4
Yes, the common factor is (2x+5) and the equation can be expressed as:
(x^3-4)(2x+5)
"Standard form" is the form ...
... ax +by = c
where a, b, c are mutually prime integers and the leading coefficient is positive. (If a ≠ 0, then it is "leading". If a = 0, then b is the leading coefficient.)
Of the choices offered, the only one that is equivalent to the given equation is ...
... -x + 6y = 5
_____
However, "standard form" requires the leading coefficient be positive, so an appropriate answer would be ...
... x -6y = -5
or
... 6y -x = 5
____
This is another one for my "broken question" file.
