Question 1051657: Solve for x with clear steps please
∜(x-7)=2
Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the fourth root of (x-7) is the same as (x-7)^(1/4)
equation becomes (x-7)^(1/4) = 2
raise both sides of the equation to the 4th power to get:
(x-7) = 2^4
simplify to get x - 7 = 16
add 7 to both sides to get x = 23
that's your solution.
confirm by replacing x with 23 in the original equation.
you get (23 - 7)^(1/4) = 2
simplify to get 16^(1/4) = 2
that's the same as the fourth root of 16 is equal to 2.
fourth root of 16 is equal to 2 and you get 2 = 2.
this confirms the solution is correct.
((x-7)^(1/4))^4 is the same as (x-7)^(1/4*4) which is equal to (x-7)^1 which is equal to x - 7.
