If x=3−4y, then (x
3
+64y
3
+36xy) is equal to:

  1. A
    27(1 + 3xy)
  2. B
    9(3 + 5xy)
  3. C
    27(1 + xy)
  4. D
    27

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Given:
x=3−4y⟹x+4y=3
We need to evaluate the expression x
3
+64y
3
+36xy.
We know the identity:

(a+b)
3
=a
3
+b
3
+3ab(a+b)
Let a=x and b=4y.

(x+4y)
3
=x
3
+(4y)
3
+3(x)(4y)(x+4y)
(x+4y)
3
=x
3
+64y
3
+12xy(x+4y)
Substitute x+4y=3 into the identity:

(3)
3
=x
3
+64y
3
+12xy(3)
27=x
3
+64y
3
+36xy
Therefore, the value of the given expression is 27.
