Algebra-2

To determine if the expression can be factored as a sum or difference of cubes, let’s analyze it step by step.

Step 1: Identify the Expression

The expression is:

Step 2: Factor Out the GCF

Before checking for sums of cubes, we should look for a Greatest Common Factor (GCF).

The GCF of the terms and (250) is (2). We can factor this out:

Step 3: Recognize the Form

Now we have:

Next, we can recognize that can be expressed as a sum of cubes because:

So we rewrite it as:
