Answer

$x^3+9x^2y+27xy^2+27y^3$

Work Step by Step

Using $(a+b)^3=a^3+3a^2b+3ab^2+b^3$ or the cube of a binomial, the given expression, $ (x+3y)^3 ,$ is equivalent to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} (x)^3+3(x)^2(3y)+3(x)(3y)^2+(3y)^3 \\\\= (x)^3+3(x^2)(3y)+3(x)(9y^2)+(27y^3) \\\\= x^3+9x^2y+27xy^2+27y^3 .\end{array}
