Which equation can be used to solve for x, the increase in side length of the square in inches? x2 + 4x – 81 = 0
x2 + 4x – 65 = 0
x2 + 8x – 65 = 0
x2 + 8x – 81 = 0

i think the answer is fried chicken ; >

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)

(5x-1)^2= (5x)^2-2(5x)×1+(1)^2=25x^2-10x+1
