Answer:
The number decays each year
Let u=x^3
the original equation becomes: u^2-9u+8=0
factor this quadratic equation: (u-8)(u-1)=0
u=8, or u=1
that means x^3=8 or x^3=1
x=2 x=1
Nickels are 5 cents, and dimes are 10 cents.
(By luck..) eventually you can have 12 dimes, meaning you have 120 cents, or $1.20 ... 20-12=8.. meaning you used 12 dimes and are missing 8 more coins. which means you can have 8 nickels which is 40 cents. 120+40=160 cents or $1.60
Hope this helped.
