(Homeschooling mother. Need help with this one please. Thank you) Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! C = 10 * cube root(n^2) + 1500
:
10000 = 10 * cube root(n^2) + 1500
:
Divide both sides of = by 10
:
1000 = cube root(n^2) + 150
:
Subtract 150 from both sides of =
:
cube root(n^2) = 850
:
Cube both sides of =
:
n^2 = 614125000
:
Take square root of both sides of =
:
n = 24781
:
