First one hope this helps!
To get rid of

, you have to take the third root of both sides:
![\sqrt[3]{x^{3}} = \sqrt[3]{1}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%5E%7B3%7D%7D%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B1%7D%20)
But that won't help you with understanding the problem. It is better to write

as a product of 2 polynomials:

From this we know, that

is the solution. Another solutions (complex roots) are the roots of quadratic equation.
Answer:
3 and 9
Step-by-step explanation:
3 * 24 = 72
9 * 8 = 72
3 * 15 = 45
9 * 5 = 45
Step 4 is wrong. the answer is 1/8, she changed sign on 2^(-3) to 2^(3) without moving it to numerator
44
simply because it asks what the heaviest is
