The given identity tells you ...
.. (sum of numbers) * (sum of squares - product) = (sum of cubes)
Substituting the given information, you have
.. (sum of numbers) * (29 -10) = 133
Then you can divide by (29 -10) to get
.. sum of numbers = 133/19 = 7
The sum of the two numbers is 7.
The expanded form for that problem would be (7x10^5) + (2 × 10^4) + (8x10^1)
when i put ^then a number i mean to that power like 2 to the 4th power i would write 2^4
1/2 - 1/4x ≥ -1/4
Combine 1/4x to get x/4:
1/2 - x/4 ≥ -1/4
Subtract 1/2 from both sides:
-x/4 ≥ -1/4 - 1/2
Simplify:
-x/4 ≥ -3/4
Multiply both sides by 4:
-x ≥ -3/4 * 4
-x ≥ -3
Multiply each side by -1 ( and since you are multiplying by -1, you also need to reverse the inequality sign)
Answer: x ≤ 3
16 I think is a rational number
