-2(7a+ 9b) = –14a + [?]b

-18

Step-by-step explanation:

Left Hand Side = -2(7a + 9b) = -14a - 18b

Comparing it with Right Hand Side, ?  = -18

the unknown, [?], has the value -18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perform the indicated multiplication on the left side:

-14a - 18b = -14a + [?]b

Adding 14a to both sides, we eliminate a:

-18b = [?]b

Thus, the unknown, [?], has the value -18.

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.
