Expression : $$2x-\frac{2}{x}=1$$
=> $$2(x-\frac{1}{x})=1$$
=> $$x-\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{2}$$ ---------(i)
Cubing both sides, we get :
=> $$(x-\frac{1}{x})^3=(\frac{1}{2})^3$$
=> $$x^3-\frac{1}{x^3}-3.x.\frac{1}{x}(x-\frac{1}{x})=\frac{1}{8}$$
Substituting value from equation (i)
=> $$x^3-\frac{1}{x^3} - 3(\frac{1}{2})=\frac{1}{8}$$
=> $$x^3-\frac{1}{x^3}=\frac{1}{8}+\frac{3}{2}$$
=> $$x^3-\frac{1}{x^3}=\frac{1+12}{8}=\frac{13}{8}$$
