Identify if the expression can be factored as sum or difference of cubes:

3x³ + 24

• No

• Yes

• Yes, getting GCF first

• It is a sum of squares

What is ALWAYS the first step when factoring?

• Look for the GCF

• Write a, b, and c

• Difference of squares

• Use the X-Puzzle

64-27a³

• (4-3a)(9a²+12a+16)

• (3a-4)(3a²+12a+16)

• (4-3a)(3a²+12a+16)

• (4-3a)³
