Steven would like to purchase a new scooter. He decides to pay for the $5,248 scooter with an installment plan. The terms of the installment plan require that he puts 13% down and make payments of $88 per month over 5 years. What is the total
Steven will pay, including finance charges, to purchase the scooter? Round your answer to the nearest cent. Do not include a
dollar sign in your answer.

answer: y = -2.5x - 15

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)

i think its doubled. let me know
