Give a combinatorial proof of the following identity: $$binom3n3 =3binomn3 +6nbinomn2 +n^3.$$




I've been working on this proof for hours, however I'm not able to show LHS = RHS-
I completely understand binomial theorem and few combinatorial proofs but not able to succeed this one.
Help would be appreciated.

          Arrange $3n$ balls into 3 rows and each row contains $n$ balls.



          There are $binomn3$ ways to select $3$ balls from them. We can group the ways into $3$ categories:



          1. Select one ball from each row. There are $n$ choices for each row, this contribute $n^3$ ways of pick the balls.


          2. Select two balls from one row and one ball from another row. There are $3 times 2$ ways to select the rows. Since there are $binomn2$ ways to select two balls from a row and $n$ ways to select one balls from a row, this contribute $6 binomn2 n$ ways to pick the balls.


          3. Select three balls from a single row. There are $3$ ways to select the row and $binomn3$ ways to select three balls from that particular row. This contributes $3binomn3$ ways.


          These $3$ categories of choicing doesn't overlap and exhaust all possible ways to select three balls. As a result,



          $$binom3n3 = n^3 + 6binomn2 n + 3binomn3$$

          $$3nchoose3=3nchoose3+6nnchoose2+n^3$$$$frac12ncdot(3n-1)cdot(3n-2)=frac12ncdot(n-1)cdot(n-2)+3n^2cdot(n-1)+n^3$$Can you take it from here?

          $2!=2, 3!=6$, so:



          $$binom3n3=frac n2(3n-1)(3n-2)$$
          $$3binomn3=frac n2(n-1)(n-2)$$
          $$6nbinomn2=3n^2(n-1)$$



          I used that $$fracx!(x-a)!=x^underlinex-a=prod_n=0^a-1(x-n)$$

          Brute force:



          $27n^3 - 27n^2+ 6n = 27n^3 - 27n^2 + 6n$



          $27n^3 - 9n^2 - 18n^2 + 6n = 3n^3 - 3n^2 - 6n^2 + 6n + 18n^3 - 18n^2 + 6n^3$



          $(9n^2 - 3n)(3n - 2) = (3n^2 - 3n)(n - 2) + 18n^2(n-1) + 6n^3$



          $3n(3n - 1)(3n - 2) = 3n(n - 1)(n - 2) + 3(6n)n(n-1) + 6n^3$



          $3n(3n - 1)(3n - 2)/6 = 3n(n - 1)(n - 2)/6 + (6n)n(n-1)/2 + n^3$



          $binom3n3 =3binomn3 +6nbinomn2 +n^3$

            A proof that thinks about combination (as in choosing n objects from m objects) is better because it trains intuition. But for simple problems, algebra and brute force is sufficient.

          Notice that the LHS is:



          $$frac3n times (3n-1) times (3n-2)3! = fracn times (3n-1) times (3n-2)2$$
          $$to frac9n^3-9n^2+2n2$$



          For the RHS:



          $$3 times fracntimes(n-1)times(n-2)3! + 6n times fracntimes(n-1)2! + frac2n^32$$



          $$Longrightarrow fracntimes(n-1)times(n-2)2 + frac6n^2 times(n-1)2 + frac2n^32$$



          $$to frac9n^3-9n^2+2n2$$



          Hence, RHS=LHS.

            Why do people post algebraic solutions when the OP is asking specifically (in boldface) for a combinatorial proof? Not gonna vote down algebraic solutions though. Just saying. And +1 only to Achille Hui.

            $2!=2, 3!=6$, so:



            $$binom3n3=frac n2(3n-1)(3n-2)$$
            $$3binomn3=frac n2(n-1)(n-2)$$
            $$6nbinomn2=3n^2(n-1)$$



            I used that $$fracx!(x-a)!=x^underlinex-a=prod_n=0^a-1(x-n)$$

              A proof that thinks about combination (as in choosing n objects from m objects) is better because it trains intuition. But for simple problems, algebra and brute force is sufficient.

            Notice that the LHS is:



            $$frac3n times (3n-1) times (3n-2)3! = fracn times (3n-1) times (3n-2)2$$
            $$to frac9n^3-9n^2+2n2$$



            For the RHS:



            $$3 times fracntimes(n-1)times(n-2)3! + 6n times fracntimes(n-1)2! + frac2n^32$$



            $$Longrightarrow fracntimes(n-1)times(n-2)2 + frac6n^2 times(n-1)2 + frac2n^32$$



            $$to frac9n^3-9n^2+2n2$$



            Hence, RHS=LHS.
