Hi Larry
x^3 - 168 = [ 24(x-2)] / 2
x^3 - 168 = (24x - 48)/2
x^3 - 168 = 12x - 24
Subtract 12x - 24 to both sides
x^3 - 168 - (12x - 24) = 12xx - 24 - (12x - 24)
x^3 - 12x - 144 = 0
Now, factor the left sides
(x - 6)(x^2 + 6x + 24) = 0
Set factors equal to 0
x - 6 = 0 or x^2 + 6x + 24 = 0
x = 0 + 6 or x^2 + 6x + 24 - 0
x = 6
Answer : X = 6
Good luck !
Answer:
between 222 and 223 days
Step-by-step explanation:
This relation includes the point (0, 2).
A proportional relation must include the point (0, 0).
This is not proportional, but it may be linear.
Points: (0, 2), (2, 20)
y = mx + b
20 = (20 - 2)/(2 - 0) × 2 + b
20 = 18/2 × 2 + b
b = 2
y = 18x + 2
When 4000 people know, y = 4000.
y = 18x + 2
4000 = 18x + 2
3998 = 18x
x = 3998/18
x = 222.111...
