^ means to the power of with nothing after it, it's miss-used. Solving without the ^ symbol it is -2xy with the ^ symbol it's irrational and cannot be solved.
Answer:
C. 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The inverse operation is a cubed root. It is a square root symbol with a small 3 to the left of the radical. The cubed root of x is a number, when cubed, gives x. For example, ![\sqrt[3]{8} =2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B8%7D%20%3D2)
.
1.x^2 +6x - 4 = 6x
X^2 + 6x -4 - 6x = 0
X^2 - 4 = 0
By difference of two squares :
X^2 - 4 = 0 can be written as (x-2) (x+2) = 0
(X-2)=0 therefore x= 2
(X+2)=0 therefore x= -2
2. X^2 - 8x = -6x
X^2 -8x + 6x = 0
X^2 - 2x = 0
X(X-2) = 0
X= 0, X= 2
