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)

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

step-by-step explanation:

a child is 12 years old, and his father is 32 years older. in how many years will the age of the father be 2 times the age of the child?

this needs to be the answer format, or else your answer is incomplete.

if the number of years is x, then the equation is

in __ years
