You need to find which one is in order
Subtracting the weight of the smaller brick from the larger gives us the weight difference:
4 3/8 lb - 2 1/3 lb. The two denominators are 8 and 3 respectively, resulting in an LCD of 24. Thus, our problem becomes:
4 9/24 - 2 8/24, which equals 2 1/24 lb. The weight difference is 2 1/24 lb.
(3x + 4)³ = 2197
Taking the cube root in this case is easier, although we can do it the extended way which is complicated.
![\sqrt[3]{(3x+4)^3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B%283x%2B4%29%5E3%7D%20)
=
![\sqrt[3]{2197}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B2197%7D%20)
3x + 4 = 13
Now solve normally.
subtract 4
3x + 4 = 13
-4 -4
3x = 9
Divide by 3 to isolate 3

3 and 3 cancels out
x = 3
