.083 or 83/1000 depending on which one you need
Step-by-step explanation:
x^3 is a perfect cube, 8 is a perfect cube, so we use difference of cubes.

Cube root of x^3 is x.
Cube root of 8 is 2
So
a=x
b= 2.

Set these equations equal to zero



If we do the discriminant, we get a negative answer so we would have two imaginary solutions,
Thus the only real root is 2.
If you want imaginary solutions, apply the quadratic formula.

and

The two fractions that added together give you a sum of -7/24 are 1/24+-8/24= -7/24
Answer: 19 macaroons
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's create an equation to represent this situation. Let x represent the number of macaroons that Em made.
33=x+x+5
33=2x+5
33-5=2x+5-5
28=2x
28/2=2x/2
14=x
This means that Em made 14 macaroons.
14+5=19
Therefore, Jim baked 19 macaroons.
