Here are the solutions for each equation:

Equation (ग):

2x+1+2x+2+2x+3=4482^{x+1} + 2^{x+2} + 2^{x+3} = 448
  1. Rewrite the terms using the exponent rule am+n=am⋅ana^{m+n} = a^m \cdot a^n.

    2x⋅21+2x⋅22+2x⋅23=4482^x \cdot 2^1 + 2^x \cdot 2^2 + 2^x \cdot 2^3 = 448 2⋅2x+4⋅2x+8⋅2x=4482 \cdot 2^x + 4 \cdot 2^x + 8 \cdot 2^x = 448
  2. Factor out 2x2^x.

    2x(2+4+8)=4482^x (2 + 4 + 8) = 448 2x(14)=4482^x (14) = 448
  3. Isolate 2x2^x.

    2x=448142^x = \frac{448}{14} 2x=322^x = 32
  4. Express 32 as a power of 2.

    2x=252^x = 2^5
  5. Equate the exponents.

    x=5x = 5

    The solution for (ग) is x=5\boxed{x=5}.

    Equation (ड):

    4x+1−8×4x−1=324^{x+1} - 8 \times 4^{x-1} = 32
  6. Rewrite the terms using the exponent rules am+n=am⋅ana^{m+n} = a^m \cdot a^n and am−n=am⋅a−na^{m-n} = a^m \cdot a^{-n}.

    4x⋅41−8⋅4x⋅4−1=324^x \cdot 4^1 - 8 \cdot 4^x \cdot 4^{-1} = 32 4⋅4x−8⋅4x⋅14=324 \cdot 4^x - 8 \cdot 4^x \cdot \frac{1}{4} = 32 4⋅4x−2⋅4x=324 \cdot 4^x - 2 \cdot 4^x = 32
  7. Factor out 4x4^x.

    4x(4−2)=324^x (4 - 2) = 32 4x(2)=324^x (2) = 32
  8. Isolate 4x4^x.

    4x=3224^x = \frac{32}{2} 4x=164^x = 16
  9. Express 16 as a power of 4.

    4x=424^x = 4^2
  10. Equate the exponents.

    x=2x = 2

    The solution for (ड) is x=2\boxed{x=2}.

    Equation (छ):

    3x+2+3x+1+2×3x=1263^{x+2} + 3^{x+1} + 2 \times 3^x = 126
  11. Rewrite the terms using the exponent rule am+n=am⋅ana^{m+n} = a^m \cdot a^n.

    3x⋅32+3x⋅31+2⋅3x=1263^x \cdot 3^2 + 3^x \cdot 3^1 + 2 \cdot 3^x = 126 9⋅3x+3⋅3x+2⋅3x=1269 \cdot 3^x + 3 \cdot 3^x + 2 \cdot 3^x = 126
  12. Factor out 3x3^x.

    3x(9+3+2)=1263^x (9 + 3 + 2) = 126 3x(14)=1263^x (14) = 126
  13. Isolate 3x3^x.

    3x=126143^x = \frac{126}{14} 3x=93^x = 9
  14. Express 9 as a power of 3.

    3x=323^x = 3^2
  15. Equate the exponents.

    x=2x = 2

    The solution for (छ) is x=2\boxed{x=2}.

    Equation (फ):
    The equation is 8x−1−23x−2+8=08^{x-1} - 23^{x-2} + 8 = 0. Given the context of the other problems, it is highly probable that the term 23x−223^{x-2} is actually 23×8x−223 \times 8^{x-2}. We will proceed with this assumption.

    Assume the equation is:

    8x−1−23×8x−2+8=08^{x-1} - 23 \times 8^{x-2} + 8 = 0
  16. Rewrite the terms using the exponent rule am−n=am⋅a−na^{m-n} = a^m \cdot a^{-n}.

    8x⋅8−1−23⋅8x⋅8−2+8=08^x \cdot 8^{-1} - 23 \cdot 8^x \cdot 8^{-2} + 8 = 0 8x8−23⋅8x64+8=0\frac{8^x}{8} - 23 \cdot \frac{8^x}{64} + 8 = 0
  17. Let y=8xy = 8^x.

    Substitute yy into the equation.

    y8−23y64+8=0\frac{y}{8} - \frac{23y}{64} + 8 = 0
  18. Multiply the entire equation by 64 to eliminate the denominators.

    64(y8)−64(23y64)+64(8)=064 \left( \frac{y}{8} \right) - 64 \left( \frac{23y}{64} \right) + 64(8) = 0 8y−23y+512=08y - 23y + 512 = 0
  19. Combine like terms.

    −15y+512=0-15y + 512 = 0
  20. Solve for yy.

    −15y=−512-15y = -512 y=51215y = \frac{512}{15}
  21. Substitute back y=8xy = 8^x.

    8x=512158^x = \frac{512}{15}
  22. Solve for xx using logarithms.

    x=log⁡8(51215)x = \log_8 \left( \frac{512}{15} \right)

    Since 512=83512 = 8^3, we can write:

    x=log⁡8(83)−log⁡8(15)x = \log_8 (8^3) - \log_8 (15) x=3−log⁡8(15)x = 3 - \log_8 (15)

    The solution for (फ) is x=3−log⁡8(15)\boxed{x = 3 - \log_8 (15)}.
