A bee flies at 15 feet per second directly to a flowerbed from its hive. The bee stays at the flowerbed for 17 minutes, and then flies directly back to the hive at 12 feet per second. It is away from the hive for a total of 19 minutes.

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)

cross multiplying, we get :

⇒ (3) × (5) = (9) × (x)

⇒ 15 = 9x
