add -8 to both sides
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well i got to this part x^3-19=0
OpenStudy (helder_edwin):
no
\[ \large (x-3)^3=-8 \]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
k then
OpenStudy (helder_edwin):
now take cubic roots of each side

x-3=2i?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (helder_edwin):
no
\[ \large \sqrt[3]{(x-3)^3}=\sqrt[3]{-8}=-2 \]
OpenStudy (helder_edwin):
then u have
\[ \large x-3=-2 \]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ook so now why did you subtract 8 from both side instead of doing the parenthesis

if u had done that, in the end u would have had to use syntthetic division or something else to solve the equation. it is not a bad idea, but it is harder
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so how do know when to do your method
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how would i know when do apply your method
OpenStudy (helder_edwin):
did they teach the order of operations?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
nop

come on... for real??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oo my bad didnt read read the question right
OpenStudy (helder_edwin):
well. take a look at this
\[ \large (7-3)^8+8= \]
OpenStudy (helder_edwin):
tell me step by step how would u compute this
OpenStudy (anonymous):
if i were do do this i would find the difference of the number in parenthesis, then raise the result to the 8th power and then add it to 8

great
OpenStudy (helder_edwin):
to solve an equation u do that but in reverse order:
1st undo +8
2nd undo ^3
3rd undo -3
got it?
