Question:

If $y=2 x+1$, then what is the value of $\left(8 x^3-y^3+6 x y\right) ?$

Options:

1

-1 

15

-15

Correct Answer:

-1 

Explanation:

Given,

y = 2x + 1

We know that,

 (a – b)3 = a3 – 3a2b + 3ab2 – b3

= 2x - y = (-1)

= (2x - y)3 =  (-1)3

= 8x3 - 12x2y + 6xy2 - y3 = -1

=  8x3  - 6xy(2x - y) - y3  = -1

= 8x3 - 6xy × (-1)  - y3  = -1

= 8x3  + 6xy - y3  = -1

=  8x3  - y3  + 6xy = -1

Method 2

Put the values of x = 1 and then we get y = 3

Put them in required equation.
