Answer: x = 38.4

Step-by-step explanation:

7-x/3 = -1-x/8

1. Add 1 to both sides

8-x/3 = -x/8

2. Add x/3 to both sides

8 = x/3 - x/8

3. Multiply x/3 by 8/8 and x/8 by 3/3 to get the same number under the quotient

8 = 8x/24 - 3x/24

4. calculate the difference between 8x/24 - 3x/24

8 = 5x/24

5. Multiply both sides by 24/5, and there is the answer

38.4 = x

Factorise x ^ 4 + 1/x ^ 4 - 3

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 1 and subtract 1, so that the expression won't change.

$x^{4}+\frac{1}{x^{4}}-3=x^{4}+\frac{1}{x^{4}}-3 +1 - 1\\\\=x^{4}+\frac{1}{x^{4}} - 2 + 1\\\\= (x^{2})^{2} + (\frac{1}{x^{2}})^{2}- 2 *x^{2}*\frac{1}{x^{2}} - 1\\\\$

$= (x^{2} -\frac{1}{x^{2}})^{2} - 1\\\\=(x^{2}-\frac{1}{x^{2}})^{2}- 1^{2}$

(a² - b²) = (a+b)(a - b)

Here a = x² - (1/x²) and b = 1

$= [ (x^{2}-\frac{1}{x^{2}})+ 1 ] [ (x^{2} -\frac{1}{x^{2}} - 1 ]$
