I don't get what you are saying.  Can you explain better?

By Simon's Favorite Factoring Trick, the equation reduces to (p + 7)(t - 12) = 11.

The factors of 11 are 1 and 11.  Since p + 7 must be at least 7, p + 7 = 11 and t - 12 = 1.  Then p = 4 and t = 13.

Therefore, when the mathematician drinks coffee, he solves 2pt = 2*4*13 = 104 problems.

no but I would be interested how you came to that solution

Thank you so much for your help!

Sorry C is -1/8

It is 1/3.

B= 4/8 C=4/8

Please include the picture

these are 2 controversial explinations

you have 37x = 12

that isn't an exponential equation (something like x^n would be required)

here is my solution:

"In order to isolate x, Mike needs to divide both sides by 37 to get x = 12/37"

if you forgot to copy the whole equation respond to this with the entire equation, I think you are missing some part of it

edit: - I relized that you meant 37^x and not 37x - CPhill solved this problem already https://web2.0calc.com/questions/exponential-equations_3

why is this one of the most common questions lol

Ha It was probably because you mentioned the "math course that shall not be named" (else this post will get flagged)

I tagged one of there instructional videos when trying to help someone, (probably why it was banned) thanks for the clarification

Hi YAD

They can be flagged for many reasons and occassionly they are flagged for no discernable reason.

Yes, moderators can unflag them.

Some reasons:

1. Too long or the title too long.

2. bad language

3. Certain words such as AOPS, as recognised AOPS material is banned. (They do not want their students here)

4. Moderators can also block questions.  I might do this if the question is incomplete or simply does not make sense.

5. Or I might do it  because the question has been repeated in a short space of time.

6. Or maybe I think the student is trying to get all of his/her homework done by people here.

7. If there is more than one question on a post I may block the whole post.

8. nonsense, time wasting or abusive answers are often blocked, either automatically or by a moderator.

If a question is blocked for what seems like no understandable reason. which does frequesntly happen, then members can write a private message to a moderator asking them to review it.  Please provide a link to the question/post.

(note: I had to unblock this answer,  maybe because it was to long.  Not sure why, )

a^3 + 3ab^2 = 679 and a^3 - 3ab^2 = 673

\(a^3 + 3ab^2 = 679\qquad and \qquad a^3 - 3ab^2 = 673 \)

add them and get

\(2a^3= 1352\\ a^3=676\)

factor(676) = 2^2*13^2  not much help

subtract them

\(6ab^2=6\\ ab^2=1\\ \sqrt[3]{676}\;\;b^2 = 1\\ b^2=676^{-1/3}\\ b=676^{-1/6}\\ b=26^{-1/3}\\ \)

\(a-b=\sqrt[3]{676}-\sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{26} }\)

I could easily have made a careless mistake but I strongly think you may have made a copy error when you wrote the question in.

I've had several answers flagged for seemingly no reason compared to when they arent not sure why

for the first case

X = each page

20+3x

for the second case

30+2x

for this case

20+3x = 30+2x

x = 10

please include the grid

b) Start by giving each kid a sticker. Now, there are 15 stars and 4 bars for \({15 + 4 \choose 4} = \color{brown}\boxed{3,876}\) cases

a) There are 20 stars and 4 bars, so there are \({20 + 4 \choose 4} = \color{brown}\boxed{10,626}\) ways to give out the stickers
