Step 1
Given problem is 35(2x1)34(x2)=2.
We know that an expression is combination of a number, variable and operations symbol.
And an equation consists of two expression joined by equal to sign.
Given problem consists of two expression and joined by equal to sign.
Therefore, it is an equation.
Now, solving the given equation.
35(2x1)34(x2)=2
12(2x1)15(x2)20=2
24x1215x+3020=2
9x+18=40
9x=4018
9x=58
x=589
Step 2
Hence, required solution is x=589.
