(07.01) Colton solved an equation incorrectly, as shown below:
Step 1: x - 13 = 26
Step 2: x = 26 - 13
Step 3: x = 39
Which statement best explains why Step 2 is incorrect in Colton's solution? (4
points)
He did not divide 26 by 13.
He did not multiply 26 by 13.
O He did not subtract 13 from 26.
He did not add 13 to 26.

He didn't add 13 to 26

Step-by-step explanation:

he would need to add -13+13 to get rid of it. and add 13 on the other side 13+26

idk u tell me

step-by-step explanation:

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

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

discussion:

in general, the factorization of a^3 + b^3 is

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

in our case note that 343 = 7^3 and 216 = 6^3 so the equation becomes:

343x^3 + 216y^3 = (7x)^3 + (6y)^3

if you think of a (above) as 7x and b as 6y the factorization becomes

343x^3 + 216y^3 =

((7x + 6y) (   (7x)^2 - 7x*6y + (6y)^2)   =

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

you,

mrb

(a + b) (a^2 - a b + b^2)
