x^{3}+3x^{2}+3x+1-x^{2}\left(x+3\right)+2=0
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}\right)+2=0
Use the distributive property to multiply x^{2} by x+3.
x^{3}+3x^{2}+3x+1-x^{3}-3x^{2}+2=0
To find the opposite of x^{3}+3x^{2}, find the opposite of each term.
3x^{2}+3x+1-3x^{2}+2=0
Combine x^{3} and -x^{3} to get 0.
3x+1+2=0
Combine 3x^{2} and -3x^{2} to get 0.
3x+3=0
Add 1 and 2 to get 3.
3x=-3
Subtract 3 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-3}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=-1
Divide -3 by 3 to get -1.
