If 3x - 2y = 11 and xy = 12,

Question:

If $3 x-2 y=11$ and $x y=12$, Find the value of $27 x^{3}-8 y^{3}$

Solution:

Given, 3x - 2y = 11, xy = 12

We know that $(a-b)^{3}=a^{3}-b^{3}-3 a b(a+b)$

$(3 x-2 y)^{3}=11^{3}$

$\Rightarrow 27 x^{3}-8 y^{3}-(18 * 12 * 11)=1331$

$\Rightarrow 27 x^{3}-8 y^{3}-2376=1331$

$\Rightarrow 27 x^{3}-8 y^{3}=1331+2376$

$\Rightarrow 27 x^{3}-8 y^{3}=3707$

Hence, the value of $27 x^{3}-8 y^{3}=3707$
