Answer

Given


\: \:


  • \sf a + b = 12


\: \:


  • \sf \: ab = 27


\: \:

We Know That

  • a³ + b³ = ( a + b )³ - 3ab ( a + b )


\: \: \:


\tt \orange{  ↬} ( {12})^(3) = 3(27)(12)


\: \:


\tt \orange{  ↬} = 1728 - 81(12)


\: \:


\tt \orange{  ↬}1728 - 972


\: \:


\boxed{\tt \orange{  ↬}756}

Hope Helps! :)
