(x-y)(x^2+xy+y^2)

The first parentheses contain the cubed root of both the terms so x and y respectively. second parentheses follows the formula (a^2 + ab + b^2)
x corresponds to a and y corresponds to b. The signs are what change depending on what the original equation is. Since the original is a subtraction then the signs are -/+/+. you can remember it using the acronym SOAP. (S = same, O = opposite, AP = always positive) So the first sign is x - y (same as subtraction from original), the second and third are x^2 + xy + y^2 (opposite is a plus, and the last sign is always a positive.

Let the number of tie-dyed T-shirts = x

The man sold 4 times as many tie-dyed T-shirts as silk-screened shirts.

So, the number of silk-screened shirts = 4x

He sold 180 shirts altogether

So,

$\begin{gathered} x+4x=180 \\ 5x=180 \\ \\ x=\frac{180}{5}=36 \end{gathered}$

So, the number of tie-dyed shirts = 36
