Answer: a) -13/16
Step-by-step explanation: Start by setting equations equal and rearrange X^3 - x^2 + 1 = 0. Visual inspection of graph shows x between -1 and -1/2. Start with x = 3/4 plug in and calculate: just a little too small. Try going halfway towards -1: x =-7/8 Plug in and the answer is very far from 0. Go halfway back towards -3/4: -13/16 and the equality is very close.
Since it's a linear equation and there's a constant rate (given in the problem), we can choose our x - axis to be the time and the y - axis to be height. We choose it that way because you are going up in the elevator. The more time in the elevator, the higher you go.
Finding this equation uses the point slope formula, y - y₁ = m(x - x₁). It can be done with slope-intercept, y = mx + b too.).
First we need to get the slope of the line. Choose any two points, but be consistent and choose two y points as well as the matching x ones. Here, we use x₁ = 2, x₂ = 4, y₁ = 45, y₂ = 75. Slope, m, is y₂ - y₁ / x₂ - x₁.
m = 75 - 45 / 4 - 2
= 30 /2
= 15
Next, we use the slope of 15 and either of the points to find the linear equation. Choose the same (2, 45) x-y pair above, but any point will work.
y - 45 = 15 (x - 2)
y - 45 = 15x - 30
y = 15x + 15
So the linear equation representing this table us y = 15x + 15.
The only ones that would work are if the factor is composite and if 1 is added to it it can be divided into 48. So 15 would work. The factor 15 is composite, and if 1 is added it can be divided into 48.Therefore the son is 15.

well if it's 10 meters and 10 you would divide 10 by 10 and get 1 meter letting every girl have 1 meter of ribbon
