Multiply both sides by +%283x%29%5E%282%2F3%29+
+%283x%29%5E%28-2%2F3%29%2A%283x%29%5E%282%2F3%29+=+.04%2A%283x%29%5E%282%2F3%29+
+%283x%29%5E0+=+.04%2A3%5E%282%2F3%29%2Ax%5E%282%2F3%29+
+1%2F%28+.04%2A3%5E%282%2F3%29%29+=+x%5E%282%2F3%29+
+25%2A3%5E%28-2%2F3%29+=+x%5E%282%2F3%29+
Raise both sides to the +3%2F2+ power
+25%5E%283%2F2%29%2A%281%2F3%29+=+x+
+x+=+5%5E3%2F3+
