Find the value of 3a+ 3b when: a = 6 and b = 4 a = 4 and b = 6 Your two answers should be the same. Look at the expression and the a and b values and explain why the answers are the same.

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

(7 x + 6 y) (49 x^2 - 42 x y + 36 y^2)

discussion:

the trick is to recognize that 343 = 7^3 and 216 = 6^3 and, in general,

a^3 + b^3 =   (a + b) (a^2 - a b + b^2).

in our case

343x^3+216y^3   =   (7x)^3 + (6y)^3

so take a = 7x and b = 6y in the above equation to get the answer.

you,

x-150=475   x=625

step-by-step explanation:

if the bike after the sale ($150) is $475 then just simply add 150 to 475.
