1 + 216 = (a + b)(a2 + ka +36), what does k equal?

PLEASE ANSWER NOW NOW NOW

k=−a3−a2b−36a−36b+217/a2+ab

Step-by-step explanation:Step 1: Flip the equation.

a3+a2b+a2k+abk+36a+36b=217

Step 2: Add -a^3 to both sides.

a3+a2b+a2k+abk+36a+36b+−a3=217+−a3

a2b+a2k+abk+36a+36b=−a3+217

Step 3: Add -a^2b to both sides.

a2b+a2k+abk+36a+36b+−a2b=−a3+217+−a2b

a2k+abk+36a+36b=−a3−a2b+217

Step 4: Add -36a to both sides.

a2k+abk+36a+36b+−36a=−a3−a2b+217+−36a

a2k+abk+36b=−a3−a2b−36a+217

Step 5: Add -36b to both sides.

a2k+abk+36b+−36b=−a3−a2b−36a+217+−36b

a2k+abk=−a3−a2b−36a−36b+217

Step 6: Factor out variable k.

k(a2+ab)=−a3−a2b−36a−36b+217

Step 7: Divide both sides by a^2+ab.

k(a2+ab)

a2+ab

=

−a3−a2b−36a−36b+217

a2+ab

k=

−a3−a2b−36a−36b+217

a2+ab
