The show of the five comedians should be around three
<span>2x + x</span>²<span> + 3x + 5x</span>²<span> - 10x (combine like terms)
6x</span>² + 5x -10x
6x² - 5x
which is the same as
-5x +6x²
Your answer is C
The given identity tells you ...
.. (sum of numbers) * (sum of squares - product) = (sum of cubes)
Substituting the given information, you have
.. (sum of numbers) * (29 -10) = 133
Then you can divide by (29 -10) to get
.. sum of numbers = 133/19 = 7
The sum of the two numbers is 7.
