How would you solve for X? x3=9 (1 point) Responses Subtract 3 from both sides Subtract 3 from both sides divide 3 from both sides divide 3 from both sides add 3 to both sides add 3 to both sides Multiply 3 to both sides Multiply 3 to both sides Question 2 Solve for X (We want to know what positive X is.) -X = 5 (1 point) Responses 5 5 -5 -5 10 10 -10

1 answer

To solve for \( X \) in each of the equations provided:

Question 1: Solve \( x^3 = 9 \)

To isolate \( x \), you would take the cube root of both sides:

\[ x = \sqrt[3]{9} \]

Question 2: Solve \( -X = 5 \)

To isolate \( X \), you would multiply both sides by -1:

\[ X = -5 \]

Since the question specifies that we want the positive \( X \), we would disregard this solution in this context. However, the answers provided do not list \( -5 \) as a positive option.

Here is how the answers align with the questions:

  • For Question 1, none of the responses provided correctly solve for \( x^3=9 \). The correct operation is taking the cube root.

  • For Question 2, the correct response is \( -5 \), but if you're looking for a non-negative solution, none of the provided answers align with this requirement.
