Question

How do you solve this?
(x+4)^2/3=x

Answer 1

Write it as follows:\[\frac{ (x+4)^2 }{ 3 }=x\]Multiply with 3:

(x+4)²=3x

Then: expand the brackets, rearrange so that the right hand side = 0
Hopefully, it can be factored then.

Answer 2

why is the 3 on the denominator.

Answer 3

when i wrote 2/3 thats the exponent

Answer 4

You should have used brackets :(
Well now you have:\[(x+4)^{\frac{2}{3}}=x\]

If you raise both sides to the 3rd power, you get:

(x+4)²=x³.

This cannot be solved easily, but fortunately there is a very simple solution.
You may see it...

Answer 5
