Multiply then simplify, that's doing the same work twice...anyway
x^3+x^2y+xy^2-x^2y-xy^2-y^3
x^3-y^3 which if factored is:
(x-y)(x^2+xy+y^2) which is what you started with :)
9.66 - you just multiple 6 by 1.61
So Basically, these are similar. So that means that (2x/5.5)=(3x-3/7.5). Then when you cross multiply, you find that x=11. So that means BA/FE=22/5.5=4. You can verify by checking (3*11-3)/7.4=4. So now that you know the scale factor is 4, just do 4*8=32.
