x^{3}+9x^{2}+27x+27-\left(x-4\right)^{3}=21x^{2}+7
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{3}=a^{3}+3a^{2}b+3ab^{2}+b^{3} to expand \left(x+3\right)^{3}.
x^{3}+9x^{2}+27x+27-\left(x^{3}-12x^{2}+48x-64\right)=21x^{2}+7
Use binomial theorem \left(a-b\right)^{3}=a^{3}-3a^{2}b+3ab^{2}-b^{3} to expand \left(x-4\right)^{3}.
x^{3}+9x^{2}+27x+27-x^{3}+12x^{2}-48x+64=21x^{2}+7
To find the opposite of x^{3}-12x^{2}+48x-64, find the opposite of each term.
9x^{2}+27x+27+12x^{2}-48x+64=21x^{2}+7
Combine x^{3} and -x^{3} to get 0.
21x^{2}+27x+27-48x+64=21x^{2}+7
Combine 9x^{2} and 12x^{2} to get 21x^{2}.
21x^{2}-21x+27+64=21x^{2}+7
Combine 27x and -48x to get -21x.
21x^{2}-21x+91=21x^{2}+7
Add 27 and 64 to get 91.
21x^{2}-21x+91-21x^{2}=7
Subtract 21x^{2} from both sides.
-21x+91=7
Combine 21x^{2} and -21x^{2} to get 0.
-21x=7-91
Subtract 91 from both sides.
-21x=-84
Subtract 91 from 7 to get -84.
x=\frac{-84}{-21}
Divide both sides by -21.
x=4
Divide -84 by -21 to get 4.
