To solve this problem, we need to solve for x in the first equation, then substitute in this value for x into the second equation.

Let's begin by starting to solve for x in the first equation, x-1/x = 5. To begin, we should multiply both sides of the equation by x to get rid of the denominator on the left side of the equation.

x-1/x = 5

x-1 = 5x

Then, we should subtract x from both sides of the equation so that all of the variables are on the right side of the equation.

-1 = 4x

Finally, we can divide both sides of the equation by 4, to get the variable x alone on the right side.

x = -1/4

Now, we should substitute in this value of x into the second equation.

x^3 + 1 / x^3

(-1/4)^3 + 1 / (-1/4)^3

To simplify, we can begin by simplifying the exponents.

-1/64 + 1 / -1/64

Next, we should change 1 into 64/64 so that we can simplify the numerator of the fraction.

-1/64 + 64/64 / -1/64

To simplify, we need to add the two fractions in the numerator.

63/64 / -1/64

Because both of the "individual" fractions of the numerator and denominator have the common denominator of 64, we can get rid of the both of the denominators, as follows:

63/-1

Finally, we can perform this simple division.

-63

Therefore, your answer is -63.

Hope this helps!

What is the distance between the points (-12, 11) and (-18, 17), to the<br> nearest tenth? *
Basile [38]

Answer:

8.5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points is given by

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^{2}+(y_2-y_1)^{2}}

Taking points (-12, 11) and (-18, 17) as the first and second points respectively then

d=\sqrt{(-18--12)^{2}+(17-11)^{2}}

d=\sqrt {36+36}

d=8.48528137423857 units

Rounded off to nearest tenths

d=8.5 units
