This isn't an equation. You need an equal sign for it to be an equation. This is a simplification problem.


%281%2F2%29%5E3-3%2F8%2B2


%281%5E3%29%2F%282%5E3%29-3%2F8%2B2


1%2F8-3%2F8%2B2


1%2F8-3%2F8%2B2%2A%288%2F8%29


1%2F8-3%2F8%2B16%2F8


%281-3%2B16%29%2F8


14%2F8


7%2F4


So, %281%2F2%29%5E3-3%2F8%2B2=7%2F4
