%282x-3%29%281-3x%29%281%2B3x%29

The item is picked to use the difference of squares as part of the intermediate work. You equivalently have %282x-3%29%281-9x%5E2%29; then use distributive property or the lattice method if you prefer:

2x%2A1-2x%2A9x%5E2-3%2A1%2B3%2A9x%5E2
2x-18x%5E3-3%2B27x%5E2
highlight%28-18x%5E3%2B27x%5E2%2B2x-3%29
