Answer

$2(3x-2y)(9x^{2}+6xy+4y^{2})$

Work Step by Step

$ 54x^{3}-16y^{3}\qquad$...factor out $2$. $=2(27x^{3}-8y^{3})\qquad$...use the difference of two cubes: $\mathrm{A}^{3}-\mathrm{B}^{3} = (\mathrm{A}-\mathrm{B})(\mathrm{A}^{2} + \mathrm{A}\mathrm{B} + B^{2})$ $=2((3x)^{3}-(2y)^{3})$ $=2(3x-2y)(9x^{2}+6xy+4y^{2})$
