Answer:
-30 √3
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that,
x=2−
3
so,
1/x=1/(2−
3
)
By rationalizing the denominator, we get
=[1(2+
3
)]/[(2−
3
)(2+
3
)]
=[(2+
3
)]/[(2
2
)−(
3
)
2
]
=[(2+
3
)]/[4−3]
=2+

Now,
x−1/x=2−

−2−
3
=−2

Let us cube on both sides, we get
(x−1/x)

=(−2

−3(x)(1/x)(x−1/x)=24

Hence,

=−30
