You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You really should give us a hint of what you would like to do with this expression!
\n" ); document.write( "Did you want to factor it?
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E3-8%2F27\"$ This is a difference of cubes.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%29%5E3-%282%2F3%29%5E3\"$ which will factor nicely thus:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A%5E3-B%5E3+=+%28A-B%29%28A%5E2%2BAB%2BB%5E2%29\"$ and in this case, $\"A+=+x\"$ and $\"B+=+2%2F3\"$ so we have:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E3-8%2F27+=+%28x-2%2F3%29%28x%5E2%2B%282%2F3%29x%2B4%2F9%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
