# Simplify : 8 X 3 − 27 Y 3 4 X 2 − 9 Y 2 - Mathematics

Sum

Simplify :

$\frac{8 x^3 - 27 y^3}{4 x^2 - 9 y^2}$

#### Solution

It is known that,

$a^2 - b^2 = \left( a + b \right)\left( a - b \right) ; a^3 - b^3 = \left( a - b \right)\left( a^2 + ab + b^2 \right)$

$\ \frac{8 x^3 - 27 y^3}{4 x^2 - 9 y^2}$

$= \frac{\left( 2x \right)^3 - \left( 3y \right)^3}{\left( 2x \right)^2 - \left( 3y \right)^2}$

$= \frac{\left( 2x - 3y \right)\left[ \left( 2x \right)^2 + \left( 2x \right) \times \left( 3y \right) + \left( 3y \right)^2 \right]}{\left( 2x + 3y \right)\left( 2x - 3y \right)}$

$= \frac{\left( 2x - 3y \right)\left( 4 x^2 + 6xy + 9 y^2 \right)}{\left( 2x + 3y \right)\left( 2x - 3y \right)}$

$= \frac{4 x^2 + 6xy + 9 y^2}{\left( 2x + 3y \right)}$
