The given expression is:

y = %28x+-+1%29%5E2+%28x+-+3%29%5E3

%28x+-+1%29%5E2 = x%5E2+-+2x+%2B+1

%28x+-+3%29%5E3 = x%5E3+-+27+-+9x%5E2+%2B+27x

The RHS(right hand side) can be simplied as follows:


y = %28x%5E2+-+2x+%2B+1%29%28x%5E3+-+27+-+9x%5E2+%2B+27x%29


Multiplying terms, we get:


y =

y = +x%5E5+-+11x%5E4+%2B+46x%5E3+-+90x%5E2+%2B+27x+-+27+

Hence, the solution.
