chris has 3 1/2 boxes of tomatoes at his restaurant he uses 1 3/4 boxes to make tomato sauce for tonight's dinner. How many boxes of tomatoes does chris have left over?

1 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

3 1/2 boxes of tomatoes currently. uses 1 3/4, taking it away basically.

3 1/2 - 1 3/4

3 2/4 - 1 3/4 ;; i did this with finding a common denominator for it to be easier for me to solve.

3 - 1 = 2

2/4 - 3/4 = -1/4

2 + -1/4 = 1 3/4

correct me if wrong.

1 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

1/800 is the right answer

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,
