What is the best way to solve this system of equations:
5a+3x=452
a+x=108
any is much appreciated!

step-by-step explanation:

most likely the answer is a.

alice wins if a total of 5 is rolled. finn wins if a total of 9 is rolled.

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.
