You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2 = (x/100-x)^3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Do you mean:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28%28x%2F100%29-x%29%5E3\"$ = 2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "or do you mean:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%2F%28100-x%29%29%5E3\"$ = 2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Assume it is the 2nd one: find the cube root of both sides; (Cube root = ^1/3):
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2F%28100-x%29+=+2%5E%281%2F3%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+2%5E%281%2F3%29%28100-x%29%29\"$ ; multiplied both sides by(100-x):
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+%28100%2A2%5E%281%2F3%29%29+-+%28x%2A2%5E%281%2F3%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+%2B+x%2A2%5E%281%2F3%29+=+100%2A+2%5E%281%2F3%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%281+%2B+2%5E%281%2F3%29%29+=+100%2A+2%5E%281%2F3%29\"$ : factor out x
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+%28100%2A2%5E%281%2F3%29%29%2F%281%2B2%5E%281%2F3%29%29\"$ : divide both sides by $\"1%2B2%5E%281%2F3%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
