(2x1)3{(2x-1)}^{3}

1
Use Cube of Difference: (ab)3=a33a2b+3ab2b3{(a-b)}^{3}={a}^{3}-3{a}^{2}b+3a{b}^{2}-{b}^{3}.
(2x1)((2x)22×2x+1)(2x-1)({(2x)}^{2}-2\times 2x+1)

2
Use Multiplication Distributive Property: (xy)a=xaya{(xy)}^{a}={x}^{a}{y}^{a}.
(2x1)(22x22×2x+1)(2x-1)({2}^{2}{x}^{2}-2\times 2x+1)

3
Simplify  22{2}^{2}  to  44.
(2x1)(4x22×2x+1)(2x-1)(4{x}^{2}-2\times 2x+1)

4
Simplify  2×2x2\times 2x  to  4x4x.
(2x1)(4x24x+1)(2x-1)(4{x}^{2}-4x+1)

5
Expand by distributing sum groups.
2x(4x24x+1)(4x24x+1)2x(4{x}^{2}-4x+1)-(4{x}^{2}-4x+1)

6
Expand by distributing terms.
8x38x2+2x(4x24x+1)8{x}^{3}-8{x}^{2}+2x-(4{x}^{2}-4x+1)

7
Remove parentheses.
8x38x2+2x4x2+4x18{x}^{3}-8{x}^{2}+2x-4{x}^{2}+4x-1

8
Collect like terms.
8x3+(8x24x2)+(2x+4x)18{x}^{3}+(-8{x}^{2}-4{x}^{2})+(2x+4x)-1

9
Simplify.
8x312x2+6x18{x}^{3}-12{x}^{2}+6x-1

Done
