Answer

$(3x+y)(9x^2+3xy+y^2)$

Work Step by Step

RECALL: $A^3+B^3=(A+B)(A^2-AB+B^2)$ The given binomial can be written as: $=3^3x^3+y^3 \\=(3x)^3+y^3$ The binomial above is a sum of two cubes. Factor using the the formula above with $A=3x$ and $B=y$ to obtain: $=(3x+y)[(3x)^2+(3x)(y) +y^2] \\=(3x+y)(9x^2+3xy+y^2)$
