a3 – b3 = 117 and a – b = 3 ⇒ a3 – b3 = (a – b) (a2 + b2 +ab) ⇒ 117 = 3 (a2 + b2 +ab) ⇒ 39 = a2 + b2 +ab ⇒ a2 + b2 = 39 – ab we Know that (a-b)² = a2 +b² - 2ab = (a-b)² = 39 – ab – 2ab = (a-b)² = 39 – 3ab 9 = 39 – 3ab = ab = 10 Now use (a+b)² = a2 + b2 + 2ab (a+b)² = 39 – ab + 2ab (a+b)² = 39 + ab = 39 + 10 (a+b)² = 49 = a + b = ±7
