Hi Larry
x^3 - 168 = [ 24(x-2)] / 2
x^3 - 168 = (24x - 48)/2
x^3 - 168 = 12x - 24
Subtract 12x - 24 to both sides
x^3 - 168 - (12x - 24) = 12xx - 24 - (12x - 24)
x^3 - 12x - 144 = 0
Now, factor the left sides
(x - 6)(x^2 + 6x + 24) = 0
Set factors equal to 0
x - 6 = 0 or x^2 + 6x + 24 = 0
x = 0 + 6 or x^2 + 6x + 24 - 0
x = 6
Answer : X = 6
Good luck !
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
4/2=2
She should have added 2 to both sides of the equation instead of subtracting 2.
2x -2 = 14
Add 2 to both sides:
2x = 16
Divide both sides by 2:
x = 8
Answer:
y = 10
x = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
4y - 3 = 37
4y = 37 + 3
4y = 40
y = 40 / 4
y = 10
3x - 9 = 42
3x = 42 + 9
3x = 51
x = 51 / 3
x = 17
<em>Hope that helps!</em>
