Solve: (y+1)^2/3=9

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

\[\frac{(y+1)^2}{3} = 9\]You want to get \(y\) all by itself on one side. To do so, repeatedly do something to both sides of the equation. Actions you might take for this problem include multiplying, taking the square root, and subtracting.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is raised to 2/3

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

Okay, then you should have written (y+1)^(2/3) = 9 or better yet, use the equation editor. \[(y+1)^{2/3} = 9\]Well, same answer, except you'll want to add cubing to the list of possible options.

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

Hint: Remember that \[(a^n)^m = a^{n*m}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

WHere do I start?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do I like multiply the exponent by the reciprocal so that it equals 1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

help:)

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

Okay, why don't you cube both sides?
