You can put this solution on YOUR website!
\"root%283%2Cx%5E2%29=4\" This expression reads: \"the cube root of x squared equals 4\". When you have a cube root, and you want to undo it, you raise both sides to the 3rd power. This will eliminate the cube root\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2=%284%29%5E3\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2=64\" Cube 4 to get 64\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%28x%5E2%29=sqrt%2864%29\" Take the square root of both sides. This will undo the square\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " So this is your answer\r
