Cubing the expression \(2x - 3\).

Using the binomial expansion formula.

We apply the formula \((a - b)^3 = a^3 - 3a^2b + 3ab^2 - b^3\) where \(a = 2x\) and \(b = 3\).

Calculating each term.

Calculating \(a^3 = (2x)^3 = 8x^3\), \(3a^2b = 3(2x)^2(3) = 36x^2\), \(3ab^2 = 3(2x)(3^2) = 54x\), and \(b^3 = 3^3 = 27\).

Combining the terms.

The expression simplifies to \(8x^3 - 36x^2 + 54x - 27\).

The final expression is \(\boxed{8x^3 - 36x^2 + 54x - 27}\).

The final expression for cubing \(2x - 3\) is \(\boxed{8x^3 - 36x^2 + 54x - 27}\).
