Algebra 1 I need help

There's a bit of lack of context but I think the question is just asking what variables to put in for Lucy and Howard. There seems to be no need to answer any math problem.

I suggest using the variables x and y or l for Lucy and h for Howard. Remember to use lowercase letters.

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.

(-5,-28)
