I NEED TO KNOW NOW IT'S DUE!! Last summer, Fred earned 16 dollars per day, and Maria earned 18 dollars per day together, they earned 1780 dollars. If Fred worked 5 more days than Maria, how many days did Maria work?

x = # of days Maria worked

x + 5 = # of days Fred worded

$16(x + 5) + $18x = $1780

Let's distribute the $16

$16x + $80 + $18x = $1780

Combine like terms

$34x + $80 = $1780

Subtract $80 from both sides.

$34x = $1700

Divide both sides by $34

x = 50 days

Maria worked 50 days

x= -3 and

step-by-step explanation:

to find the roots of a cubic, use division or factoring to find the factors then set equal to 0. as this is a difference of cubes, it factors into

where a is the cube root of .

here   this is 27 and the cube root of 27 is 3. so we write using the form:

.

set each factor to 0 and solve for x.

x-3=0

x=3

the quadratic expression does not factor and must be solved using the quadratic formula.

where a = 1, b=3, and c=9

this cubic has two complex roots.

d
