You can put this solution on YOUR website!

The cube or ^3 would only apply to the stuff inside the parentheses it is directly next to:

%286x%5E2y%5E3%29%28xyz%29%5E3

%286x%5E2y%5E3%29%28x%5E3y%5E3z%5E3%29

6x%5E5y%5E6z%5E3 is the simplified expression

I hope this helps!

PS The expression would be MUCH different if it was actually
%28%286x%5E2y%5E3%29%28xyz%29%29%5E3
