^-4√(x+9)=20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt[-4]{x+9}=20\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

take the exponent of both sides by -4 and solve.

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

you can rewrite this as: (x + y)^(1/-4) = 20

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

also, which variable are you trying to solve for?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

theres only 1 so x

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

you originally had x + y...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no its x+9

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

this equation will be easier if you write it like this: \[\sqrt[4]{x+9} = 1/20\]

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

now raise both sides to the power of 4
