(x-y)(x^2+xy+y^2)

The first parentheses contain the cubed root of both the terms so x and y respectively. second parentheses follows the formula (a^2 + ab + b^2)
x corresponds to a and y corresponds to b. The signs are what change depending on what the original equation is. Since the original is a subtraction then the signs are -/+/+. you can remember it using the acronym SOAP. (S = same, O = opposite, AP = always positive) So the first sign is x - y (same as subtraction from original), the second and third are x^2 + xy + y^2 (opposite is a plus, and the last sign is always a positive.

Arrange the steps to solve the equation square root x+3 - square root 2x-1=-2
stiv31 [10]

Answer:x=31.4919

Step-by-step explanation:

Step1:isolate a square root on the left hand side√x+3=√2x-1-2

Step2:eliminate the radicals on the left hand side

Raise both sides to the second power

√x+3)^2=(√2x-1-2)^2

After squaring

x+3=2x-1+4-4-4√2x-1

Step3:get the remaining radicals by itself

x+3=2x-1+4-4√2x-1

Isolate radical on the left hand side

4√2x-1=-x-3+2x-1+4

4√2x-1=x

Step4:eliminate the radicals on the left hand side

Raise both side to the second power

(4√2x-1)^2=x^2

After squaring

32x-16=x^2

Step 5:solve the quadratic equation

x^2-32x-16

This equation has two real roots

x1=32+√960/2=31.4919

x2=32-√960/2=0.5081

Step6:check that the first solution is correct

Put in 31.4919 for x

√31.4919+3=√2•31.4919-1-2

√34.492=5.873

x=31.4919

Step7:check that the second solution is correct

√x+3=√2x-1-2

Put in 0.5081 for x

√0.5081+3=√2•0.5081-1-2

√3.508=-1.873

1.873#-1.873

One solution was found

x=31.4919

Sixteen less than ten times a number is the same as twice the number. find the number
tatuchka [14]
X = unknown number
10x - 16 = 2x
Subtract 10x from both sides to isolate the variable on the right side of the equation.
-16 = -8x
Divide both sides by -8 to get x alone.
2 = x

Choose the mixed numeral that is equivalent to this decimal 3.242424...
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

First, we can write:

x

=

Next, we can multiply each side by  

100

giving:

100

x

=

324

.

Then we can subtract each side of the first equation from each side of the second equation giving:

100

x

i believe that it’s a but i don’t want to get it wrong can someone help me (no wrong answers pleaseee)
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

For the divisor on the left of the division symbol, the -3 symbolizes that the -3 is a root. This means that when we plug -3 into our divisor, the answer is 0. Therefore, as x+3=0 when x=-3, the divisor is x+3.

Next, for the dividend, we can start on the left with no x multiplied to it and then add one degree of x for each value to the left. This results in

6 + -4 * x¹ + 4 * x² + 2 *x³

= 2x³ +4x² -4x+6
