try something like and then you have (t equals x to the one-third power)







Two things to do now.

The other possible x


Cube both sides for each, to find x.

There are two solutions, using the path shown by tutor @josgarithmetic.

and

Cubing each of those values gives the two (approximate) solutions x = -0.20101 and x - -39.79899.

The graphing feature of this web site can't handle an equation like that. Verify the solutions by making a graph using a calculator like the TI-84, or using the graphing utility at geogebra.org.
