If \( X^{3}-Y^{3}=26, X-Y=2 \) then \( X^{2}+X Y+Y^{2}=\cdots \)
5. Substitute X, Y in \(X^2+XY+Y^2\): \(5^2+5(3)+3^2\)
Step 1 :1. X=Y+2
Step 2 :2. Substitute X in \(X^3-Y^3=26\): \((Y+2)^3-Y^3=26\)
Step 3 :3. Solve for Y: Y=3
Step 4 :4. Solve for X: X=5
Step 5 :5. Substitute X, Y in \(X^2+XY+Y^2\): \(5^2+5(3)+3^2\)
