I can only assume that you meant, "Solve for x:"
Apply the exponent 3/2 to both sides of this equation. The result will be
3/2
343 = x/6.
Multiplying both sides by 6 isolates x:
3/2
6*343 = x Since 7^3 = 343, the expression for x
can be rewritten as
3/2
6*(7^3) = x which can be further simplified, as follows:
x = 6^(3/2)*7^(9/2), or:
x = 6^(3/2)*7^(8/2)*√7, or
x = 6^(3/2)*7^4*√7
X = dull pencils
y = sharp pencils
x + y = 100
y = x + 16 ~~Plug this back into your original x+y equation.
x+x+16=100 ==> 2x = 84 ==> x = 42. Plug this back into the y = equation
y = 42 + 16 ==> y = 58.
42 Dull, 58 sharp.
