I need help on figuring out a solution of an equation!!

Question

anonymous · Answer

$$4(3-x)^{\frac{  4}{3  }}-5=59$$

anonymous · Answer

I got 5 and -11 but that doesn't match any of my choices.

anonymous · Answer

–5, 11
5
11
–11

These are my choices

anonymous · Answer

in this case since you have choices, you could plug any of those in with x, and see which one is true! we can start with -5

4(3 - x) ^ (4/3) - 5 = 59

4(3+5) ^ (4/3) - 5 = 59

(12 +20) ^ (4/3) - 5 = 59

22^ (4/3) - 5 = 59

22^ (4/3) - 5 = 59

can you do the rest?

anonymous · Answer

Yes I can.

anonymous · Answer

Pretty sure there is a mistake in your response because nothing matches the choices if I do it that way

anonymous · Answer

oh whoops. but you get the point right? plug it in and see which one equals 59:) i hope i helped.. sorry for the confusion.
