The answer should be "add -9"

Regardless of which action you choose, you should include "to both sides."
For example, you could add -9 to both sides, or you could subtract 9 from both sides (same result).  Adding 3x to both sides results in 

<span>5 - 3x = 2x + 9</span>
   + 3x = 3x
----------------------
5 = 5x + 9

We need to solve for x.  The best way to do this is to subtract 9 from both sides, resulting in -4 = 5x, so that x = -4/5 (final answer).

The simplest form of sqrt 80 can be written as a sqrt b where a = and b =
Zanzabum

The square root of 80 can be broken up into the square root of 16 x square root of 5. We know that the square root of 16 is 4. So in the form (a sqrt b)

A would be 4 and b would be 5.

Answer: 4 sqrt 5

Answer:

x^3 + 1/x^3 = 488

Step-by-step explanation:

  • x^2 + 1/x^2 = 62
  • x^2 + 1/x^2 + 2 = 64
  • ( adding 2 in both sides )
  • (x + 1/x ) ^2 = 64
  • x + 1/x = 8

now,

  • ( x+ 1/x ) ^ 3 = 512
  • x^3 + 1/x^3 + 3 × x × 1/x ( x + 1/x )
  • x^3 + 1/x^3 + 3 ( 8 )
  • ( since x + 1/x = 8 )
  • x^3 + 1/x^3 + 24 = 512
  • x^3 + 1/x^3 = 488

hence, we got x^3 + 1/x^3 = 488
