| ① | Find $ \left(n-3m\right)^3 $ using formula $$ (A - B) = A^3 - 3A^2B + 3AB^2 - B^3 $$where $ A = n $ and $ B = 3m $. $$ \left(n-3m\right)^3 = n^3-3 \cdot n^2 \cdot 3m + 3 \cdot n \cdot \left( 3m \right)^2-\left( 3m \right)^3 = n^3-9mn^2+27m^2n-27m^3 $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ -27m^3+27m^2n-9mn^2+n^3 = -27m^3+27m^2n-9mn^2+n^3 $$ |
