Answer 1

Hi Student!

Looking at this problem, it's fairly simple and just asks us to determine whether x = 1 is a solution to the expression that was provided. The first step that we must take to solving this is to plug in the value 1 for each of the places that we have x. Then we simplify and look at the final expression and if it evaluates to true than x = 1 is a solution to the expression.

Plug in the values

• 
  `x^3 + 3 \ge 8 - 4`

• 
  `(1)^3 + 3 \ge 8 - 4`

Simplify both sides

• 
  `1 + 3 \ge 8 - 4`

• 
  `4 \ge 4`

Looking at the final expression that is shown, we can see that it states that 4 is greater than or equal to 4 which evaluates to true since 4 is equal to 4. Therefore, x = 1 would be considered a solution of the expression that was provided in this problem.
