Step 1
Given: 1(2x1)6=3x8
To find- the above problem is expression or equation and solve it accordingly.
Concept Used-An expression is a number, a variable, or a combination of numbers and variables and operation symbols. An equation is made up of two expressions connected by an equal sign.
Step 2
Explanation- Rewrite the given expression,
1(2x1)6=3x8
As the above expression is connected by equal sign , so the above problem is equation.
Now, simplifying the above expression, we get,
1(2x1)6=3x8
(2x1)6+3x8=1
4(2x1)+9x24=1
8x-4+9x=24
17x=24+4
17x=28
x=2817
So, the value of x is 2817.
Answer- Hence, the value of the expression 1(2x1)6=3x8 is 2817.
