3/5 of 15=n
n=9
So, if you divide 3/5 of 15, you get 9 as your answer.
<u>Statement </u> <u>Reason</u>
1. AB = x + 16 1. Given
BC = 4x + 11
AC = 77
2. AB + BC = AC 2. Segment Addition Postulate
3. x + 16 + 4x + 11 = 77 3. Substitution Property
4. 5x + 27 = 77 4. Simplification <em>(added like terms)</em>
5. 5x = 50 5. Subtraction Property of Equality
6. x = 10 6. Division Property of Equality
7. AB = 10 + 16 7. Substitution Property
8. AB = 26 8. Simplification <em>(added like terms)</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
x^3 is a perfect cube, 8 is a perfect cube, so we use difference of cubes.

Cube root of x^3 is x.
Cube root of 8 is 2
So
a=x
b= 2.

Set these equations equal to zero



If we do the discriminant, we get a negative answer so we would have two imaginary solutions,
Thus the only real root is 2.
If you want imaginary solutions, apply the quadratic formula.
