Solution - Linear equations with one unknown

x=21stfo(3.750)=1.06496
x=21strootof(3.750)=1.06496

Step by Step Solution

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                     -4*x^21-(-15)=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  (0 -  22x21) -  -15  = 0 

Step  2  :

Trying to factor as a Difference of Cubes:

 2.1      Factoring:  15-4x21 

Theory : A difference of two perfect cubes,  a3 - b3 can be factored into
              (a-b) • (a2 +ab +b2)

Proof :  (a-b)•(a2+ab+b2) =
            a3+a2b+ab2-ba2-b2a-b3 =
            a3+(a2b-ba2)+(ab2-b2a)-b3 =
            a3+0+0-b3 =
            a3-b3


Check :  15  is not a cube !!

Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the difference of two perfect cubes

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  15 - 4x21  = 0 

Step  3  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 3.1      Solve  :    -4x21+15 = 0 

 
Subtract  15  from both sides of the equation : 
 
                     -4x21 = -15
Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) :  4x21 = 15


Divide both sides of the equation by 4:
                     x21 = 15/4 = 3.750
                     x  =  21st root of (15/4) 

 
The equation has one real solution
This solution is  x = 21st root of ( 3.750) = 1.06496

One solution was found :

                   x = 21st root of ( 3.750) = 1.06496
