Follow BODMAS rule to solve this question, as per the order given below,

Step-1- Parts of an equation enclosed in 'Brackets' must be solved first, and in the bracket, the BODMAS rule must be followed,

Step-2- Any mathematical 'Of' or 'Exponent' must be solved next,

Step-3-Next, the parts of the equation that contain 'Division' and 'Multiplication' are calculated,

Step-4-Last but not least, the parts of the equation that contain 'Addition' and 'Subtraction' should be calculated

We have the expression:

⇒ (80 × 0.40)3 ÷ (40 × 1.6) × (128)3 = (2)? + 7

⇒ 323 ÷ 64 × (128)3 = (2)? + 7

(We know that 64 = 32 × 2)

⇒ (323 ÷ 32 × 2) × (128)3 = (2)? + 7

⇒ 512 × (128)3 = (2)? + 7

(We know that 512 = 29 and 128 = 27)

⇒ $({2^9})$ × $({2^{7\; \times 3}})$ = (2)? + 7

⇒ $({2^{30}})$ = (2)? + 7

⇒ $({2^{7\; + \;23}})$ = (2)? + 7

⇒ ? = 23
