I have this problem: $$\sqrt[3]{8x^5}-\sqrt[3]{27x^8}$$
The result I get is: $$x\sqrt[3]{x^2}(2-3x)$$ But I don't know if I factored it correctly because the answer is: $$\sqrt[3]{x^2}(2x-3x^2) $$

Your answer is correct: your factorization is in fact more complete, since you factored out $x$ from the sum $\;(2x - 3x^2)$: $$2x - 3x^2 = x(2 - 3x).$$
Indeed: $$x\sqrt[3]{x^2}(2-3x) = \sqrt[3]{x^2}\cdot x(2 - 3x) = \sqrt[3]{x^2}(2x - 3x^2)$$
