Alex and Thomas share 52 sweets. They divide them in the ratio 7:6. How many sweets does Thomas have?

24

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

you first add the ratios 6+7= 13 then you divide the number of sweets by the total number of the ratio 52÷13=4 then you multiply the first ratio by the 4 you found 7×4=28 for Alex then by the second ratio 6×4=24

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.
