The answer is; as most everyone has shown, -8a³ .
Here is a simple process to help you understand how this is answered.
If one asks; "What is 4³ ?" You write the following to determine such:
4 * 4 * 4 =
( 4 * 4) * 4 =
16 * 4 = 64
Simply follow the exact process with your question:
(-2a) * (-2a) * (-2a) =
{(-2a) * (-2a)} * (-2a) = || -2 * -2 = 4: a * a = a² ==> 4a² * (-2a)
4a² * (-2a) = || 4 * (-2) = -8: a² * a = a³ = -8a³
Hope that helps.
