To simplify, first expand the factor: (x + 3)^3 = (x + 3)(x + 3)(x + 3)

Next, multiply (x + 3)(x + 3) using the FOIL method. This results in

x^2 + 6x + 9

Then, multiply this result by (x + 3):

(x^2 + 6x + 9)(x + 3) -----> x^3 + 3x^2 + 6x^2 + 18x + 9x + 27

Finally, combine all like terms to determine our final answer:

x^3 + 9x^2 + 27x + 27
