Solve the algebraic equation -4x +2 (x - 1)^2

2x^2 - 8x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

-4x + 2(x-1)^2

= -4x + 2(x^2 -2x +1)

= -4x + 2x^2 - 4x + 2

= -8x + 2x^2 + 2

=2x^2 - 8x + 2 (usually put the exponent kind of things first)

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)
