Your question is incomplete.
Prove that #x^3-6x^2+6x#? ... what do you want to prove?

I have simplified so far but I cannot give you an answer with the limited information I have.

Explanation:

So far:

Assuming you meant the prove part to be #x^3-6x^2+6x#,

#x=21/3+22/3+2#,
simplify to #\color(red)(x=)43/3+2=43/3+6/3=\color(red)(49/3)#
then replace the prove equation variable.

#(\color(red)(49/3))^3-6(\color(red)(49/3))^2+6(\color(red)(49/3))#
#\rArr(117649)/(27)-6((2401)/(9))+6(49/3)#

Finding common denominator which is #9xx3xx1=27#,
#117649/27(1/1)-6(2401/9)(3/3)+6(49/3)(9/9)#
#\rArr117649/27-6(7203/27)+6(294/27)#
#\rArr117649/27-43218/27+1764/27=(117649-43218+1764)/27=76195/27#

# 2#.

Explanation:

I assume that the Problem is to find the value of

#x^3-6x^2+6x," given that, "x=2^(1/3)+2^(2/3)+2#.

Starting with, #x=2^(1/3)+2^(2/3)+2#, we have,

#x-2=2^(1/3)+2^(2/3)...........................(star)#.

#"Cubing, "(x-2)^3={2^(1/3)+2^(2/3)}^3#.

#:. x^3-2^3-3*x*2(x-2)#

#=(2^(1/3))^3+(2^(2/3))^3+3*2^(1/3)*2^(2/3){2^(1/3)+2^(2/3)}#.

#:. x^3-8-6x^2+12x=2+2^2+3*2(x-2)......[because, (star)]#.

#:. x^3-8-6x^2+12x=2+4+6x-12#.

#:. x^2-6x^2+12x-6x=6-12+8#.

# rArr x^3-6x^2+6x=2#, as desired!
