Answer

Extend the cube of binomila identity to trinomial.

(a+b)^3 = a^3+b^3+3ab(a+b)
(1)

Then,

(a+b+c)^3 = (a+b)^3+c^3+3c(a+b)(a+b+c)
(2)

Substitute (1) into (2)

(a+b+c)^3 = a^3+b^3+c^3+3ab(a+b)+3c(a+b)(a+b+c)

Then,

(a+b+c)^3-a^3-b^3-c^3

=3ab(a+b)+3c(a+b)(a+b+c)

=3(a+b)(ab+ac+bc+c^2)

=3(a+b)(b+c)(c+a)
