A triple bracket expression has three factors, such as (x+1)(x+2)(x+3)(x+1)(x+2)(x+3)(x+1)(x+2)(x+3). The safest method is to turn it into a double-bracket question first.
Do not try to multiply all three brackets at once. Expand two brackets, simplify to a quadratic, then multiply that quadratic by the remaining bracket.
When three linear brackets are expanded, the final answer usually starts with an x3x^3x3 term. A quick check at the end is to write your answer in descending powers: x3x^3x3, then x2x^2x2, then xxx, then the constant.
