OpenStudy (anonymous):

your not a dumbcow.

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

since exponents are equal you can set the bases equal then solve the equation for "x"

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

haha thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i set the bases equal?

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

the base is whatever is in parenthesis... example (3x-2)^2 = (x+1)^2 --> 3x-2 = x+1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

than just solve for x?

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer to my q is -11?

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

hmm i get -1/5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you turn it into a fraction?

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

what was the equation, sorry i already closed the window with your question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(-7x+2)^1/3 = (4+3x)^1/3

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

-7x+2 = 4+3x -10x = 2 x = -2/10 = -1/5
