Marking-scheme solution
\[\begin{aligned}
\text { LHS } & =2\left(\sin ^{6} \theta+\cos ^{6} \theta\right)-3\left(\sin ^{4} \theta+\cos ^{4} \theta\right)+1 \\
& =2\left[\left(\sin ^{2} \theta\right)^{3}+\left(\cos ^{2} \theta\right)^{3}\right]-3\left(\sin ^{4} \theta+\cos ^{4} \theta\right)+1 \\
& =2\left[\left(\sin ^{2} \theta+\cos ^{2} \theta\right)\left(\sin ^{4} \theta-\sin ^{2} \theta \cos ^{2} \theta+\cos ^{4} \theta\right)\right]- \\
& \quad 3\left(\sin ^{4} \theta+\cos ^{4} \theta\right)+1
\end{aligned}
\]
\[\begin{aligned}
& =2\left[\sin ^{4} \theta+\cos ^{4} \theta-\sin ^{2} \theta \cos ^{2} \theta\right]-3\left(\sin ^{4} \theta+\cos ^{4} \theta\right)+1 \\
& =-\left[\sin ^{4} \theta+\cos ^{4} \theta+2 \sin ^{2} \theta \cos ^{2} \theta\right]+1 \\
& =-\left(\sin ^{2} \theta+\cos ^{2} \theta\right)^{2}+1 \\
& =-1+1=0
\end{aligned}
