Step-by-step explanation:

English Translation

A man was going to Bahia with his seven sisters. Each sister carried seven boxes, each box had seven cats, each cat had seven puppies. How many were going to Bahia?

Solution

1 man was going to Bahia

With his 7 sisters.

Total nunber of humans = 1 + 7 = 8 humans

Each of the 7 sisters carried 7 boxes.

Each of the 49 boxes had 7 cats

Total number of cats = 7 × 7 × 7 = 343 cats

Each of the 343 cats had 7 puppies

Total number of puppies = 7 × 343 = 2401 puppies.

Total number of living things going to Bahia

8 humans + 343 cats + 2401 puppies

= 2,752

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,
