  1. Is this what  you mean?

    (2x-3y)

    6x-9y

    6x=9y

    x=1.5y


  2. (2x - 3y)^3

    = (2x - 3y)(2x - 3y)(2x - 3y)

    = (2x*2x - 3y*2x - 2x*3y + 3y*3y)(2x - 3y)

    = (4x^2 - 6xy - 6xy + 9y^2)(2x - 3y)

    = (4x^2 - 12xy + 9y^2)(2x - 3y)

    = 4x^2*2x - 12xy*2x + 9y^2*2x - 4x^2*3y + 12xy*3y - 9y^2*3y

    = 8x^3 - 24x^2y + 18xy^2 - 12x^2y + 36xy^2 - 27y^3

    = 8x^3 - 24x^2y - 12x^2y + 18xy^2 + 36xy^2 - 27y^3

    = 8x^3 - 36x^2y + 54xy^2 - 27y^3

  3. I'm assuming you meant (2x - 3y)^3 (the last 3 is an exponent)

    In general, (a + b)^3 = a^3 + 3*a^2*b + 3*a*b^2 + b^3

    notice how the coefficients are 1, 3, 3,1

    The a's are, in order, a^3, a^2, a^1, a^0

    The b's are, in order, b^0, b^1, b^2, b^3

    So the answer is (plugging in 2x for a, and -3y for b):

    (2x - 3y)^3 = 8x^3 - 36x^2*y + 54x*y^2 - 27y^3

  4. I assume the 3 means cubed.

    (a + b)^3 = a^3 + 3a^2b + 3ab^2 + b^3

    so if a = 2x and b = -3y we substitute, simplify, and wind up with

    8x^3 - 36x^2y + 54xy^2 - 27y^3

    - - -

    or of course the 3 could just be a multiplier, in which case the other answers are correct. :-)

  5. 6x - 9y

    I believe.

  6. you need to multiple the 3 by both of the terms in the ()

    so you get 3*2x - 3*3y = 6x - 9y

  7. 6x - 9y

  8. 1st interpretation (best shot):

    = (2x - 3y)³

    = (2x - 3y)(2x - 3y)(2x - 3y)

    = (4x² - 12xy - 9y²)(2x - 3y)

    = 8x³ - 36x²y + 18xy² + 27y³

    Answer: 8x³ + 27³ - 36x²y + 18xy²

    2nd interpretation:

    = 3(2x - 3y)

    = 6x - 9y

    Answer: 6x - 9y

  9.   (2x - 3y)3 = 3(2x - 3y)

                     = 3*(2x- 3y)

                     =3*2x - 3*3y

                     = 6x - 9y
