1) $$(2 + 3x)(4 - 6x + 9x^2) - 3x(3x - 4)(3x + 4) = 10$$
$$(2 + 3x)(4 - 6x + 9x^2) = 8 + 27x^3$$
$$3x(3x - 4)(3x + 4) = 3x(9x^2 - 16) = 27x^3 - 48x$$
$$8 + 27x^3 - (27x^3 - 48x) = 10$$
$$8 + 48x = 10$$
$$48x = 2$$
$$x = \frac{2}{48} = \frac{1}{24}$$
2) $$16(\frac{1}{2}x - 2)(\frac{1}{4}x^2 + x + 4) - 2x(x - 6)^2 = 24x^2$$
$$16(\frac{1}{2}x - 2)(\frac{1}{4}x^2 + x + 4) = 16(\frac{1}{8}x^3 - 8) = 2x^3 - 128$$
$$2x(x - 6)^2 = 2x(x^2 - 12x + 36) = 2x^3 - 24x^2 + 72x$$
$$2x^3 - 128 - (2x^3 - 24x^2 + 72x) = 24x^2$$
$$2x^3 - 128 - 2x^3 + 24x^2 - 72x = 24x^2$$
$$-128 - 72x = 0$$
$$72x = -128$$
$$x = -\frac{128}{72} = -\frac{16}{9}$$
