Algebra-2

To factor the expression , we can recognize that it is a sum of cubes.

Step 1: Identify the terms

We can rewrite as:

 

Step 2: Apply the sum of cubes formula

The sum of cubes can be factored using the formula:

Where:

(a = 9x)

(b = 8)

 

Step 3: Substitute and calculate

Calculate (a + b):

a + b = 9x + 8

 

Calculate

 

Calculate (ab):

ab = (9x)(8) = 72x

 

Calculate
