If 2x + 3y = 13 and xy = 6,

Question:

If $2 x+3 y=13$ and $x y=6$, Find the value of $8 x^{3}+27 y^{3}$

Solution:

Given, 2x + 3y = 13, xy = 6

We know that,

$(2 x+3 y)^{3}=13^{2}$

$\Rightarrow 8 x^{3}+27 y^{3}+3(2 x)(3 y)(2 x+3 y)=2197$

$\Rightarrow 8 x^{3}+27 y^{3}+18 x y(2 x+3 y)=2197$

Substitute 2x + 3y = 13, xy = 6

$\Rightarrow 8 x^{3}+27 y^{3}+18(6)(13)=2197$

$\Rightarrow 8 x^{3}+27 y^{3}+1404=2197$

$\Rightarrow 8 x^{3}+27 y^{3}=2197-1404$

 

$\Rightarrow 8 x^{3}+27 y^{3}=793$

Hence, the value of $8 x^{3}+27 y^{3}=793$
