Answer the following and round to one decimal place.

3.74

Step-by-step explanation:

of 68

In order to do this you need to convert 5 1/2 into a decimal!

5.5

Explanation: 5 is a whole number and half of one unit will be 0.5

5 + 0.5 = 5.5

Then multiply 5.5 and convert 68 into "0.68"

5.5 × 0.68 = 3.74

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)
