Answer:
Given : Expression -
To find : How would the sum of cubes formula be used to factor given expression? Explain the process. Do not write the factorization.
Solution :
The formula of sum of cubes is,
First we convert the given expression in 
Apply exponent rule : 
Rewrite 
Therefore, could be written as 
On comparison with the formula,
a=xy , b=7
1/4(2x - 14) = 4....multiply both sides by 4
2x - 14 = 4 * 4
2x - 14 = 16
2x = 16 + 14
2x = 30
x = 30/2
x = 15 <==
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. x - 2 = 10
x = 10 + 2 = 12
2. 40 = 5x
40/5 = x
x = 8
3. x/2 = 8
Multiply by 2 on both sides
x = 16
4. x + 14 = 24
x = 24 - 14 = 10
5. x + 2 = 10
x = 10 - 2 = 8
6. x/8 = 1
Multiply by 8 on both sides
x = 8
No 2 5 and 6 is the correct answer
