x^3/2=125
x^3/2=125
x^3/2=5^3
sqrtx^3=5^3
sqrtx=5 now square both sides.
x=5^2
x=25 answer.
proof
25^3/2=125
sqrt25^3=125
sqrt(25*25)(5*5)=125
25*5=125
125=125

I presume you want to solve for x.

. This is equivalent to . In general,

So the first thing to do is to take the cube root of both sides of the equation:


(because 5 X 5 X 5 = 125, and because )

Then you need to square both sides:



. Done.

By the way, the steps I used don't have to be done in that order. We could have squared 125 to get 15625 and then taken the cube root of 15625 to get 25. I did it the way I did because the numbers stayed smaller so the arithmetic was easier.

Hope this helps,
John
