\frac{\left(3x-1\right)^{3}}{2^{3}}-\frac{27}{8}x^{2}\left(x-1\right)=1
To raise \frac{3x-1}{2} to a power, raise both numerator and denominator to the power and then divide.
\frac{27x^{3}-27x^{2}+9x-1}{2^{3}}-\frac{27}{8}x^{2}\left(x-1\right)=1
Use binomial theorem \left(a-b\right)^{3}=a^{3}-3a^{2}b+3ab^{2}-b^{3} to expand \left(3x-1\right)^{3}.
\frac{27x^{3}-27x^{2}+9x-1}{8}-\frac{27}{8}x^{2}\left(x-1\right)=1
Calculate 2 to the power of 3 and get 8.
\frac{27}{8}x^{3}-\frac{27}{8}x^{2}+\frac{9}{8}x-\frac{1}{8}-\frac{27}{8}x^{2}\left(x-1\right)=1
Divide each term of 27x^{3}-27x^{2}+9x-1 by 8 to get \frac{27}{8}x^{3}-\frac{27}{8}x^{2}+\frac{9}{8}x-\frac{1}{8}.
\frac{27}{8}x^{3}-\frac{27}{8}x^{2}+\frac{9}{8}x-\frac{1}{8}-\frac{27}{8}x^{3}+\frac{27}{8}x^{2}=1
Use the distributive property to multiply -\frac{27}{8}x^{2} by x-1.
-\frac{27}{8}x^{2}+\frac{9}{8}x-\frac{1}{8}+\frac{27}{8}x^{2}=1
Combine \frac{27}{8}x^{3} and -\frac{27}{8}x^{3} to get 0.
\frac{9}{8}x-\frac{1}{8}=1
Combine -\frac{27}{8}x^{2} and \frac{27}{8}x^{2} to get 0.
\frac{9}{8}x=1+\frac{1}{8}
Add \frac{1}{8} to both sides.
\frac{9}{8}x=\frac{9}{8}
Add 1 and \frac{1}{8} to get \frac{9}{8}.
x=\frac{9}{8}\times \frac{8}{9}
Multiply both sides by \frac{8}{9}, the reciprocal of \frac{9}{8}.
x=1
Multiply \frac{9}{8} and \frac{8}{9} to get 1.
