proof verification - Mathematical Induction Problem solving

13 + 23 + 23 + ... + n3 = (1+2+3+...+n)2


I start with P(1) and get 1=1.


Then I do it with P(n+1) and I get stuck.


13 + 23 + 23 + ... + n3 + (n+1)3 = (1+2+3+...+n+(n+1))2


then I've tried substituting values and both ways and I cannot find anywhere to go with the problem.


(1+2+3+...+n)2+(n+1)3=(1+2+3+...+n+(n+1))2 OR


13+23+23+...+n3+(n+1)3=(13+23+23+...+n3+(n+1))2


I know that the sum of numbers in a row is n(n+1)2. I'm not sure if that's of any use. I'm pretty sure there's a mathematical proof that I can't remember that'll clean up this problem so any insight would be greatly appreciated.
