put x2+x-2 = a
and 2x2-x-1 = b
then 3x2-3 =(a+b)
or 3(x2-1) = (a+b)
now the expression become a3+b3 = (a+b)3
now solve this expression.
3ab(a+b) = 0
means
a = 0
b = 0
and (a+b) = 0
actually this solution was given by hsbhatt sir in another forum.

A different (simpler?) way to reach there would have been by observing that (x-1) would be a factor on the whole product...
Then you are left with ....
(x+2)3+(2x+1)3=27(x+1)3
