(2x+3y)³

(2x+3y)(2x+3y)(2x+3y)

FOIL the first two:

(4x²+6xy+6xy+9y²)(2x+3y)

Collect like terms in the first parentheses

(4x²+12xy+9y²)(2x+3y)

Multiply each term of the first parentheses by every term in the second parentheses:

8x³+12x²y+24x²y+36xy²+18xy²+27y³

Collect like terms

8x³+36x²y+54xy²+27y³
