Given:-

2x + 3y = 16 and xy = 9

Concept used:-

(a + b)3 = a3 + b+ 3ab(a + b)

Calculation:-

a3 + b3 = (a + b)3 - 3ab(a + b)

8x3 + 27y3

⇒ (2x)3 + (3y)3

⇒ (2x + 3y)3 - 3 × 2x × 3y (2x + 3y)

⇒ (2x + 3y)3 - 18xy (2x + 3y)

⇒ 163 - 18 × 9 × 16

⇒ 4096 - 2592

⇒ 1504

∴ The required answer is 1504.
