Answer:
Her final answer should have been x = 1/2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Her 2 errors were that she didn't distribute the 2x to both 4 and -17 and that she made the 13 positive instead of negative when she added 4 and -17 together.
Correct solution:
8(x-3)+7=2x(4-17)
8x-24+7=8x-34x
-17=-34x
The negatives on both sides cancel each other out
x = 1/2
Answer:
6^-1
Step-by-step explanation:
6^-6 - (-5) = 6^(-6 + 5) = 6^(-1)
A lot of things are going on in this question. Notice how the 5 is handled. It starts off in the denominator as - 5 and when brought to the numerator it becomes -(-5) which makes it + 5.
The answer is then easy. It is 6^(-6 + 5) = 6^-1
You could give the answer as 1/6 but that is not what the question says.
Let's consider that number to be 'x'..
So, twice the number (2x) is 12 greater than than the half of the number.
So the equation will be like,
2x=12+x/2
Solving this further,
2x=(24+x)/2
=> 4x=24+x
=>4x-x=24
=>3x=24
=>x=8..
So the number is "8".
Answer:
15/40 which is 3/8
Plug in the numbers into the variables then complete it which then gives you 3/8 simplified
Your identity says ...
... sum of cubes = (sum)³ -3(product)(sum)
... = 4³ -3·1·4
... = 64 -12 = 52
_____
The two numbers are 2±√3, and the sum of their cubes is indeed 52.
