27x^3-189x^2+441x-34327x3189x2+441x343

Explanation:

I'm not sure you can simplify this expression. It seems to be in simplest form. However, if the question had been to expand this expression then here are the steps:

(3x-7)(3x-7)(3x-7)(3x7)(3x7)(3x7)

Expand the first two terms using FOIL

(9x^2-42x+49)(3x-7)(9x242x+49)(3x7)

Multiply the (3x-7)(3x7) term through

9x^2(3x-7)-42x(3x-7)+49(3x-7)9x2(3x7)42x(3x7)+49(3x7)

Simplify

27x^3-63x^2-126x^2+294x+147x-34327x363x2126x2+294x+147x343
