\[\frac{ 2(a-x) }{3\sqrt[3]{x} }-x ^{2/3}=0\]
So this is basically what equation look like, and solve for x
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
try multiplying EVERYTHING by \(\large \sqrt[3]x\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Sorry, I'm kinda stuck there. I'm try think, but what do I get by multiplying everything by \[\sqrt[3]{x}\]
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
hmm sorry...i got confused now too
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
i know...LCD
\[\huge \implies \frac{2(a-x)}{3\sqrt[3] x} - \frac{3x}{\sqrt[3]x} = 0\]

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
the denominator of the fraction should have a3
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
\[\huge \frac{2(a-x)}{3\sqrt[3]x} - \frac{3x}{3\sqrt[3]x} = 0\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah, I got to that first part.
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
now combine them
\[\huge \implies \frac{2(a-x) -3x}{3\sqrt[3]x} = 0\]
now...cross multiply..what do you get?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2a-5x=0

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
right
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
so solve for x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2a/5
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
right
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
so x = 2a/5
