Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
8(v+3) ( -1/2 (sqrt(14) - 4 v) (4 v + sqrt(14)) )
Discussion:
Given
64v^3 + 192v^2 - 56 v - 168
Factor 64v^2 from the first two terms. Factor 56 from the last two terms:
64v^2(v+3) - 56(v + 3) => factor (v+3) from both terms
(v+3) (64v^2 - 56) => factor 8 from both terms in the right ()
8(v+3)(8v^2-7) => factor 8y^2-7
8(v+3) ( -1/2 (sqrt(14) - 4 v) (4 v + sqrt(14)) )
Thank you,
MrB
The towns would be 380 km apart. You find this by multiplying the scale accordingly (in this case 5*76)
Solving for (x,y)
(x-y=8)
(x=y-8) & (y=x-8)
solving for (y,x)
(2y=2x-16)
(y=x-8)&(x=y+8)
