Help! Joe went to a baseball game. The game started at 10:47 AM, and it was 3 hours 31 minutes long. When did the game end?

2:18 PM

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the answer because:

1) First, count 3 hours from 10:47 AM. 10:47 - 11:47, 11:47 - 12:47, 12:47 - 1:47. We will end up with 1:47 PM.

2) Next, just add 31 minutes. In order to get 2:00 PM, we have to add 13 minutes, therefore, subtract 13 from 31, this is 18.

3) Finally, add 18 to 2:00, which is just 2:18 PM.

Hope this helps! :D

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)

for this case we must apply distributive property to the following expression:

the distributive property states that:

then, when applying the property we have to multiply the -2 for each term within the parenthesis:
