Trying to factor as a Difference of Cubes
2.1 Factoring: 8x2y3-5
Theory : A difference of two perfect cubes, a3 - b3 can be factored into
(a-b) • (a2 +ab +b2)
Proof : (a-b)•(a2+ab+b2) =
a3+a2b+ab2-ba2-b2a-b3 =
a3+(a2b-ba2)+(ab2-b2a)-b3 =
a3+0+0+b3 =
a3+b3
Check : 8 is the cube of 2
Check : 5 is not a cube !!
Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the difference of two perfect cubes
Final result :
8x2y3 - 5
4^4 is simply 4x4x4x4 and 4^7 is 4x4x4x4x4x4x4
Step-by-step explanation:
2/5+2/4 (find common denominator)
The common denominator is 20
2/5 is 8/20 (multiply by 4)
2/4 is 10/20 (multiply by 5)
8/20+10/20 is 18/20
If you simplify 18/20 this would by 9/10 if you divide by 2
so the total is 18/20 or 9/10 simplified
Hope this helps!!!!
Have a nice day :)
Let small cups = S
Large cups = L
They bought a total of 8 cups, so S + L = 8
Rewrite as S = 8-L (1st equation)
Then you also have
$3S + $5L = $30 (2nd equation)
Replace the S in the second equation with the first equation:
$3(8-L) + $5L = $30
Simplify:
24 - 3L + 5L = 30
Combine like terms:
24+2L = 30
Subtract 24 from both sides:
2L = 6
Divide both sides by 2:
L = 3
They bought 3 large cups
Since they bought a total of 8 cups, that means they bought 5 small cups ( 8-3=5)
Large = 3 cups, Small = 5 cups
