Answer:

5 lb 11⅓ oz

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert the weight at birth from pound and ounces to just ounces.

8 lb × 16 oz/lb + 9 oz = 137 oz

The baby doubles its weight in the first six months.  That means its weight increases by 137 oz over 6 months.  To find how much weight was gained in 4 months, write a proportion.

137 / 6 = x / 4

6x = 548

x = 91 ⅓

The baby gained 91 ⅓ oz in 4 months, or 5 lb 11⅓ oz.

Multiply then simplify, that's doing the same work twice...anyway

x^3+x^2y+xy^2-x^2y-xy^2-y^3

x^3-y^3  which if factored is:

(x-y)(x^2+xy+y^2)  which is what you started with :)
