i needed to edit this question :p

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

What's your question?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

could you take a screenshot or use the equation button? I don't understand what you put

OpenStudy (g33k):

Hang on

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

first factor 27x - 81

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

no. Factor. What's the greatest common factor of the numbers 27 and 81?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

not quite. What's 81 divivded by 3?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

yep. so since 81 = 27 x 3, you can factor out the 27 and get \(\Large \sqrt[3]{27(x -3)}-5\)

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

now, what's \(\large\sqrt[3]{27}\)?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

uh, no. What number, when multipled by itself 3 times = 27? for example \(\Large \sqrt[3]{8}=2\) because \(\large 2^3=8\)

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

yes. So simplified, this equation is \(\Large 3\sqrt[3]{x-3}+5\)

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

what?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

No, totally wrong method. You're done. That's the final equation

OpenStudy (g33k):

Oh, okay. Thanks fr being patient with me and for the help
