I've seen the problem up here several times, and I believe, like me, the tutors have found that there is no solution to this problem, so have passed it by.
:
Assume you mean:

:
Square both sides, gets rid of the radical on the left and square 6

:
FOIL the left side, multiply what's inside brackets on the right
= 36x^3 - 936
:
= 36x^3 - 936
:
= 36x^3 - x - 936 - 4
:
= 36x^3 - x - 940
:
At this point we should square both sides again, a real tedious operation.
Before I attempted this I entered y = into to my TI83 and found it had no real roots. (did not cross the x axis)
