x^{3}+3x^{2}+3x+1-\left(x-1\right)^{3}=6x\left(x-3\right)
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{3}=a^{3}+3a^{2}b+3ab^{2}+b^{3} to expand \left(x+1\right)^{3}.
x^{3}+3x^{2}+3x+1-\left(x^{3}-3x^{2}+3x-1\right)=6x\left(x-3\right)
Use binomial theorem \left(a-b\right)^{3}=a^{3}-3a^{2}b+3ab^{2}-b^{3} to expand \left(x-1\right)^{3}.
x^{3}+3x^{2}+3x+1-x^{3}+3x^{2}-3x+1=6x\left(x-3\right)
To find the opposite of x^{3}-3x^{2}+3x-1, find the opposite of each term.
3x^{2}+3x+1+3x^{2}-3x+1=6x\left(x-3\right)
Combine x^{3} and -x^{3} to get 0.
6x^{2}+3x+1-3x+1=6x\left(x-3\right)
Combine 3x^{2} and 3x^{2} to get 6x^{2}.
6x^{2}+1+1=6x\left(x-3\right)
Combine 3x and -3x to get 0.
6x^{2}+2=6x\left(x-3\right)
Add 1 and 1 to get 2.
6x^{2}+2=6x^{2}-18x
Use the distributive property to multiply 6x by x-3.
6x^{2}+2-6x^{2}=-18x
Subtract 6x^{2} from both sides.
2=-18x
Combine 6x^{2} and -6x^{2} to get 0.
-18x=2
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x=\frac{2}{-18}
Divide both sides by -18.
x=-\frac{1}{9}
Reduce the fraction \frac{2}{-18} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
