Answer:

4 or 7 (Check the explanation to see which one your equation actually is.

Explanation:

One thing I want to clarify for you, It's Evaluate, not Avaluate.

Okay so, we want to find the value of 2^3x-1 and we know x = 1.

You didn't really clarify if the expression was
2^(3x-1) or
2^(3x)-1, so I'll be doing both:

For
2^(3x-1), we should plug in x to get
2^(3(1)-1) and then simplify to get
2^(2).

2 to the power of 2 or
2^(2) is equal to 2 * 2 or 4.

The second one,
2^(3x)-1, we should plug in x to get
2^(3(1))-1 and then to become
2^(3)-1. 2 to the power of 3 or
2^(3) is 8 and then minus 1 is 7.
