If you have (x - 3) with power 3, then it means (x - 3)*(x - 3)*(x - 3).

The formula you should remember to solve this is :
$$(a - b)^3 = a^3 - b^3 -3ab(a - b)$$

But if you have factors with same base but different exponents, then

Suppose,

$$(x-3)^2(x -3)^4$$

You are to just add the two exponents,

$$(x-3)^6$$

And if you have factors like this:

$$(x - 3)^2(x + 2)$$

Then,

$$(x -3)^2 = x^2 + 9 - 6x$$

So,
$$(x^2 + 9 - 6x)(x + 2) = x^3 + 9x - 6x^2 + 2x^2 + 18 - 12x$$

Solving it, you will get,

$$x^3 - 4x^2 - 3x + 18$$

Getting what I am trying to explain..??
