#1512#

Explanation:

#"using the "color(blue)"binomial theorem"#

#•color(white)(x)(a+b)^n=sum_(r=0)^n((n),(r))a^(n-r)b^r#

#•color(white)(x)T_(r+1)=((n),(r))a^(n-r)b^r#

#"here "a=1" and "b=3x#

#rArrT_4=((8),(3))1^5(3x)^3#

#color(white)(xxxx)=56xx1xx27x^3#

#color(white)(xxxx)=color(red)(1512)x^3#
