x-5=8

usukidoll · Answer

so now to get rid of that cube root... blah let's just rearra...........you've taken ^3 on both sides... impressive.. ok.. now solve for x

anonymous · Answer

Ok so x=13 that wasn't so hard I just wasn't sure since that little number 3 is new to me even though i know what it means

usukidoll · Answer

that means cube root

usukidoll · Answer

plug x = 13 back into the equation and see what happens (doesn't have to be the original equation this time)

anonymous · Answer

Ok I got 8=8 and 0=0 depending on how you put it in
