See a solution process below:

Explanation:

For each of occurrence of color(red)(s) in the expression substitute color(red)(7)

For this problem the variables a and m and t are extraneous or not used and therefore not needed.

(color(red)(s) + 1)(color(red)(s)^2 - color(red)(s) + 1) becomes:

(color(red)(7) + 1)(color(red)(7)^2 - color(red)(7) + 1) =>

8(49 - color(red)(7) + 1) =>

8 * 43 =>

344
