Question

How do i get started on this problem
(5x-2)^1/3=2 help please?

Answer 1

Alright so your equation is
\[(5x-2)^{\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }}=2\] right?
This isn't so hard. First of all, let's make things a little more easier by removing the power of the equation. Let's cube each side, like so.
\[((5x-2)^{\frac{1}{3}})^{3} = 2^{3}\]
That gives us
\[(5x-2)^{1}=8\]
It's simple from here on.
\[5x-2=8\]
\[5x=10\]
\[x=10/5\]
\[x=2\]
