Answer:
(x - 2)(x² + 2x + 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
A difference of cubes factors in general as
• a³ - b³ = (a - b)(a² + ab + b² )
note 8 = 2³ = 8 ⇒ b = 2 , with a = x
Hence
x³ - 8
= x³ - 2³
= (x - 2)(x² + 2x + 2²) = (x - 2)(x² + 2x + 4)

12 / 6 = 2
2 + 4 = 6
6 / 3 = 2
so the answer is 2
Answer: 12.96 m²
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the piece of land that the flower beds were dug in is:
= Length * width
= 5.2 * 4.8
= 24.96 m²
The flower beds were 3 in number and all had the shape of a square.
Their area is:
= 3 * (Length * width)
= 3 * ( 2 * 2)
= 3 * 4
= 12 m² for all three flower beds
Remaining land:
= 24.96 - 12
= 12.96 m²
