Let's denote the two positive real numbers as x and y.
According to the given information, x + y = 20.
To find the minimum possible value for the sum of the cubes of x and y, we can use the AM-GM inequality, which states that the arithmetic mean is always greater than or equal to the geometric mean.
In this case, the arithmetic mean of x and y is (x + y)/2, which is equal to 10.
The geometric mean of x and y is √(xy).
Now, using the AM-GM inequality, we have:
(√(xy))^3 ≤ ((x + y)/2)^3
Cubing both sides:
xy(x + y) ≤ (x + y)^3/8
Since x + y = 20, we have:
xy(20) ≤ 20^3/8
20xy ≤ 8000/8
20xy ≤ 1000
Dividing both sides by 20:
xy ≤ 50
We want to find the minimum possible value for the sum of the cubes, which is x^3 + y^3. Using the identity x^3 + y^3 = (x + y)(x^2 - xy + y^2), we can rewrite it as:
x^3 + y^3 = (x + y)(x^2 - xy + y^2)
Since x + y = 20, we have:
x^3 + y^3 = 20(x^2 - xy + y^2)
We want to minimize this expression, so we need to minimize the value of (x^2 - xy + y^2).
Using the result we found earlier, xy ≤ 50, we can substitute it into the expression:
x^3 + y^3 = 20(x^2 - xy + y^2) ≥ 20(x^2 - 50 + y^2)
Now, we need to minimize (x^2 - 50 + y^2). Since both x and y are positive real numbers, their squares will be positive as well. Therefore, the minimum possible value of (x^2 - 50 + y^2) occurs when both x and y are as small as possible.
If we let both x and y be equal to √50, we have:
(x^2 - 50 + y^2) = (√50^2 - 50 + √50^2) = (50 - 50 + 50) = 50
Therefore, the minimum possible value of (x^2 - 50 + y^2) is 50.
Substituting this back into the expression for x^3 + y^3:
x^3 + y^3 = 20(x^2 - xy + y^2) ≥ 20(50) = 1000
Therefore, the minimum possible value for the sum of the cubes of x and y is 1000, not 2000 as stated in the question.

If we let both x and y be equal to √50, we have:
(x^2 - 50 + y^2) = (√50^2 - 50 + √50^2) = (50 - 50 + 50) = 50
Therefore, the minimum possible value of (x^2 - 50 + y^2) is 50.
Substituting this back into the expression for x^3 + y^3:
x^3 + y^3 = 20(x^2 - xy + y^2) ≥ 20(50) = 1000
Therefore, the minimum possible value for the sum of the cubes of x and y is 1000, not 2000 as stated in the question.
