Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Factor left side of equation.
(2x−1)(x−3)=0
Step 2: Set factors equal to 0.
x−3=0
ANSWER:
x=3
The final price is the cost plus the tax.
Since we know the tax and a percent, we can write this as
T = C(1+r)
T = what Graham paid = $87.45
C = cost before tax
r = tax rate expressed as a decimal = .40
Plugging in what we know
87.45 = C (1+.4)
87.45 = C(1.4)
Divide both sides by 1.4
C = $62.46
Step-by-step explanation:
We have

First, 125 is a perfect cube because

and
x^3 is a perfect cube because

so we can use the difference of cubes identity

Let say we have two perfect cubes:
64 because 8×8×8=64
and 27 because 3×3×3=27 and let subtract

we know that

but using the difference of cubes identity we should get the same thing.
Remeber cube root of 64 is 4 and cube root of 27 is 3 so we have


So the difference of cubes works for real numbers. This is a good way to help remeber the identity using real numbers.
Back on to the topic,
we know that 5 is cube root of 125 and x is the cube root of x^3 so we have


“Four times the difference of a number and 7 is 32”
Translation-
4(x-7)=32
