Answer:

7x^3 -24x^2 +6x +37

Explanation:

Step 1:

Expand (2x-3)^3

(2x)^3 - 3(2x)^2 * 3+3 * 2x * 3^2 -3

(8x^3 -36x^2 +54x -27)

Step 2:

Expand (x-4)^3

x^3 -3x^2 *4 +3x *4^2 -4^3

(x^3 -12x^2 +48x -64)

Step 3: Subtract and add like terms

(8x^3 -36x^2 +54x -27) - (x^3 -12x^2 +48x -64)

7x^3 -24x^2 +6x +37

Ans: 7x^3 -24x^2 +6x +37
