1. Substitute $$ x = -3 $$ into the function:
   $$
   p(-3) = (-3)^3 - (-3)
   $$

2. Calculate $$ (-3)^3 $$:
   $$
   (-3)^3 = -27
   $$

3. Compute $$ -(-3) $$:
   $$
   -(-3) = 3
   $$

4. Combine the results:
   $$
   p(-3) = -27 + 3 = -24
   $$

Thus, $$ p(-3) = -24 $$.
$$ p(-3) = -24 $$

Given the function \( p \) described by \( p(x)=x^{3}-x \), find \( p(-3) \) \( p(-3)=\square \)
