Let u=x^3
the original equation becomes: u^2-9u+8=0
factor this quadratic equation: (u-8)(u-1)=0
u=8, or u=1
that means x^3=8 or x^3=1
x=2 x=1

Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let <em>x</em> represent the number of days.
Since Day and Night Kennel charges a fee of $20 per day and only a one-time fee of $15:

Where <em>y</em> represents the total cost, <em>20x</em> represents the cost for staying <em>x</em> days and <em>15</em> is the initial one-time fee.
For Bark Time Hotel, similarly:

Again, <em>y</em> represents the total cost, <em>30x</em> represents the cost for staying <em>x</em> days, and <em>5</em> is the initial one-time fee.
Thus, the system of equations is:
