Hi Larry

x^3 - 168 = [ 24(x-2)] / 2
x^3 - 168 = (24x - 48)/2
x^3 - 168 = 12x - 24
Subtract 12x - 24 to both sides
x^3 - 168 - (12x - 24) = 12xx - 24 - (12x - 24)
x^3 - 12x - 144 = 0
Now, factor the left sides
(x - 6)(x^2 + 6x + 24) = 0
Set factors equal to 0
x - 6 = 0 or x^2 + 6x + 24 = 0
x = 0 + 6 or x^2 + 6x + 24 - 0
x = 6
Answer : X = 6

Good luck !

3(x + 4) = 27 what is x

Alla [95]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple equation if you look at it right and don't get scared by the "x."

All we need to do is figure out what times 3 = 27. We can do this easily by diving 27 by 3.

27 ÷ 3 = 9

Since our "equation" is 3(x + 4) = 27 we know whatever is in the parenthesis () has to equal to 9. We already get 4 so:

5 + 4 = 9.

3 times 9 = 27.

5 is your answer.

<u>Hope this helps and have a nice day!</u>

PS if you could mark brainliest that'd be great! I'm very close the "expert" rank. Haha, sorry I usually don't ask.

Is the answer a, b, c, or d.

ale4655 [162]

The correct answer is d.

We have the following system of linear equations:

(I) $4x+7y=-14$
(II) $8x+5y=8$

Let's use the elimination method, then let's multiply the equation (1) $\times(-2)$ and subtracting (I) and (II):

(I) $-2(4x+7y)=-2(-14)$
∴ $-8x-14y=28$

(I) $-8x-14y=28$
(II) $8x+5y=8$
____________________
(III) $-9y=36$

∴ $y=-4$

We can find the value of x by substituting y either in (I) or (II). Thus, from (I):

$4x+7(-4)=-14$
∴ $4x-28=-14$
∴ $4x=14$
∴ $x=\frac{14}{4}$
∴ $\boxed{x=\frac{7}{2}}$

Let's substitute the values of x and y into (I) and (2)

(I) $4(\frac{7}{2})+7(-4)=14-28=-14$
(II) $8(\frac{7}{2})+5(-4)=28-20=8$

Finally the answer is:

$\boxed{x=\frac{7}{2} \rightarrow x= 3 \frac{1}{2}}$

What is 75 2/5% in decimal

krok68 [10]

Answer:

.754

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage is based off of 1 or 100% which is equal to 1. So 50% or half of both 100% and 1 would be translated as .5 and as the percentage becomes more accurate or lengthy you add to the decimal so 53% is .53 and 53.4% is .534
