Answer:
On the surface, it seems easy. Can you think of the integers for x, y, and z so that x³+y³+z³=8? Sure. One answer is x = 1, y = -1, and z = 2. But what about the integers for x, y, and z so that x³+y³+z³=42?
That turned out to be much harder—as in, no one was able to solve for those integers for 65 years until a supercomputer finally came up with the solution to 42. (For the record: x = -80538738812075974, y = 80435758145817515, and z = 12602123297335631. Obviously.)
Step-by-step explanation:
X is equal 3. to do this, you do reverse of order of operations. So this means that you would to the 'times 2' first by dividing 4 by 2 to make it 2. then, in the parenthesis, since there is a 'minus 1', therefore you are going to add 1+2 which equals three. <span />

Answer:
A person in a group where 5 people are sharing 3 small bags of snickers
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of calories in one bag of snickers =x
Number of calories in 3 small bags of snickers =3x
- If 5 people share 3 small bags of snickers, 1 person's share
Number of calories in 2 small bags of snickers =2x
- If 7 people share 2 small bags of snickers, 1 person's share
We then compare the two.
Let x=1
Therefore, a person in a group where 5 people are sharing 3 small bags of snickers gets more calories.
