| 712294 | 2008-10-14 22:00:00 | Hey all, So as you know I used to be homeschooled, my younger siblings are currently. Its been years, but now they're onto the sorta stuff I used to do, so when they cant figure out X, they ask me when I drop by during school hours. Problem is this one has me horribly stumped! img207.imageshack.us We looked up the answer in the answer booklet, but dont know how to arrive at the answer. So, my challenge to all you out there in Internet Land: Solve it, come up with the right answer, and then see if you can tell us how you arrived at the correct answer too ;) Good luck Chill. |

| 712295 | 2008-10-14 22:02:00 | I've forgotten how to solve those equations already, and it was only 2 1/2 years ago! :dogeye: Going to a friend's place on Thursday night, I'll give it to the guys there and see if they can work it out. | wratterus (105) | ||

| 712298 | 2008-10-14 22:11:00 | There's no x in the equation? | sammo450 (13626) | ||
| 712299 | 2008-10-14 22:37:00 | 34? Used a calculator. I'm not to sure how to put that cube root(?) into the calc though.. |

| 712300 | 2008-10-14 22:47:00 | LOL, that's not mathematics, that just a simple arithmetic, neither is it an equation, it's just a numerical expression to evaluate. "You" should be able to do it in your head in a few seconds.... calculators... what is the world coming to? :) A clue, the cube root of -8 is -2. |

| 712302 | 2008-10-14 23:21:00 | Another clue, Connie Boswell had the answer in 1932...Me Minus You (www.jazz-on-line.com) :banana | Terry Porritt (14) | ||
| 712303 | 2008-10-15 00:04:00 | Yep I think you're onto it there Terry. Cube roots aren't hard to put in a calculator. If you have scientific calculator. | sammo450 (13626) | ||
