Let m = 3 a − 3 b = 3 6 3 + 1 0 − 3 6 3 − 1 0 m 3 = ( 3 a − 3 b ) 3 = a − b − 3 3 a b ( 3 a − 3 b ) m 3 + ( 3 a b ) m = a − b Replugging the value we get m 3 + 3 ( 3 3 6 . 3 − 1 0 0 ) m = 2 0 m 3 + 6 m − 2 0 = 0 ( m − 2 ) ( m 2 + 2 m + 1 0 ) = 0 Equating we have m = 2 and Δ of quadratic equation is < 0 so no real roots exists . Hence m = 2
