Please solve both questions, i'm very confused! thank you

Step-by-step explanation:

These types of problems can be solved with substitution.

We just have to translate the word problem into math.

#1:

F = family, I = individual

87 Families, 101 individuals

#2:

The perimeter is 899 meters. The perimeter can be defined as:

We are also given that

W = 333 meters, L = 233/2 meters

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)

you,

mrb

(a + b) (a^2 - a b + b^2)

is there supposed to be a picture here?
