Answer: 1

Explanation:

x^3 = 64

This means that we've to find a number that we'll multiply thrice that'll give 64. The number is 4.

Check: 4×4×4 = 64

Therefore x^3 = 64; x = 4

y^3 = 125

This means that we've to find a number that we'll multiply thrice that'll give 125. The number is 5.

Check: 5×5×5 = 64

Therefore y^3 = 125 ; x = 5

x=4, y= 5

y - x

=5 - 4

=1
