Well, I have never seen a question posed this way, but let's check it out by trial and error.
1^3 = 3
2^3 = 8
3^3 = 27 Hey! There's one. And the ones digit ends in 3.
Let's try another number that ends in 3 and see if it works as well.
13^3 = 2197 Wow. It works again. I never noticed this before, so you taught me something new.
I will test one more.
33^3 = 35937 Bingo. I think we have a winner.
X=4 because you combine 2+4 and subtract -6 then divide
Answer:
u= 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Using BIDMAS
Step 1: Expand the bracket
9(u-2) + 1.5u=8.25
9u-18+1.5u=8.25
Step 2: collect like terms
9u+1.5u=8.25+18
10.5u=26.25
Step 3: Divide both sides by 10.5 to get u
u=
= 2.5
