you can round your answer
divide 27 by 9 you get 3
divide hundred by 9
you get your answer
The answer is a = 3/4 = 0.75
First get rid of the paranthesis,

Then set the denominators equal:

Then remove the denominators and solve:

Eliminate -12a^2 by adding 12a^2 to both sides:

Take the fourth root of them or take the square root twice:
![\sqrt[4]{256 {a}^{4} } = \sqrt[4]{81} \\ 4a = 3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B256%20%7Ba%7D%5E%7B4%7D%20%7D%20%20%3D%20%20%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B81%7D%20%20%20%5C%5C%20%204a%20%3D%203)
Divide both sides by 4:
36 inches = half the depth of the pool , so depth of pool = 72 inches = 6 ft
Volume of the cube = 6^3 = 216 cu ft
weight of the water = 216 * 56 pounds
= 12096 pounds
Multiply by -4 on both sides.
this makes z<-8
