1 answer:

8 0

Let x and y be the 2 numbers
x + y = 8
x - y = 6

Add the 2 equations
2x = 14 => x = 7

Plug 7 into the first equation => y = 1
I really hope this helps!

By adding one more person, they each save $8
Total saving = 5 x 8 = 40
So $40 is what the 6th person has to pay.
Therefore the total rent is 6 x 40 = $240.

Express the solution of, x^3 + 2x^2 < x + 2, using interval notation?

kati45 [8]

X³ + 2x² - x - 2 < 0

x³ - x + 2x² - 2 < 0

x(x² - 1) - 2(x² - 1) < 0

(x - 2)(x² - 1) < 0

(x - 2)(x - 1)(x + 1) < 0

by chacking we get the solution

x ∈ (-∞,-1) ∪ (-1,1)

Maurinko [17]

Answer: x³+y³=180

Step-by-step explain: let's remember the formula x³+y³=(x+y)(x²-xy+y²) and also x³+y³=(x+y)³-3xy(x+y) then $\displaystyle\boldsymbol{ x^3+y^3=\underbrace{(x+y)^3}_{6}-3\underbrace{xy}_{2}\underbrace{(x+y)}_6}=\\\\6^3-3\cdot 2\cdot 6=216-36=180$
