PLEASE HELP If the absolute value represents the distance from zero, can we have a negative distance?

No, you cannot have a negative distance.

Step-by-step explanation:

No, you cannot have a negative distance.

Let's say you were asked for the absolute value of -4. How many units is -4 away from 0? The answer would be 4. There is no negative distance from 0.

Hope this helps, please mark brainliest! :)

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.
