The equation is ab = 2a + 3b
Then,  ab = 2a + 3b
<span>We will solve for "a" we get,
 
1) Add -2a to both the sides of the equation,
 
-2a + ab = 2a + -2a + 3b

On solving we get,

- 2a + ab = 3b

Again we have reached the same equation with which we started. We cannot determine the roots of the equation
 
Thus, There are no solutions to this equation.</span>

Rina8888 [55]
The formula in solving the area of a square is Area = a² where "a" is for the length of the side. The area formula in solving a cube is Area = 6a² where "a" is for the length of its side.
Area of square = a²
64 = a²
a = 8 units

Area of cube = 6a²
64= 6a²
a = 3.27 units 

The difference of side of the square and side of the cube is shown below:
Difference = 8 - 3.27
Difference = 4.73 units.

The answer is 4.73 units.
