@swissgirl plz help :)

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

hahahah I am trying to but too much going on at my end give me a few minutes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why did you removed the roots ?!!

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

Whoops that was wrong I used a non existant property to solve that. Wait let me do this again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lets call a = (2-x)^(1/3) b = (2+x)^(1/3) so we have a+b = 4^(1/3) raise both sides to the power of 3 and get : a^3 + 3a^2b + 3ab^2 + b^3 = 4 but we know : a^3 = (2-x) and b^3 = 2+x so we get: 2-x +3a^2b + 3ab^2 + 2+x = 4 -> a^2b+ab^2 = 0 ab(a+b) = 0 so a = 0 or b = 0 or a = -b for a = 0 we get x = 2 for b = 0 we get x = -2 for a = -b we get 4 = 0 which is not true so x=2 or x = -2.
