You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You may not have meant $\"x-1%2F3=2\"$ , which is what I read in your posting.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "If you meant $\"x%5E%28%22-1%2F3%22%29=2\"$ , we can \"undo\" that power,
\n" ); document.write( "and transform/simplify that equation
\n" ); document.write( "by replacing expressions with equivalent ones,
\n" ); document.write( "until we get to the solution.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E%28%22-1%2F3%22%29=2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%5E%28%22-1%2F3%22%29%29%5E-3\"$ $\"%22=%22\"$ $\"2%5E-3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E%28%28%22-1%2F3%22%28-3%29%29%29\"$ $\"%22=%22\"$ $\"1%2F2%5E3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E%223%2F3%22=1%2F8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E1=1%2F8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28x=1%2F8%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "I see that as the easiest way.
\n" ); document.write( "Another way:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E%28%22-1%2F3%22%29\"$ $\"%22=%22\"$ $\"1%2Fx%5E%221%2F3%22\"$ $\"%22=%22\"$ $\"1%2Froot%283%2Cx%29\"$ $\"%22=%22\"$ $\"root%283%2C1%2Fx%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The equation could be written as
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1%2Froot%283%2Cx%29\"$ $\"%22=%22\"$ $\"2\"$ , and solved with
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1\"$ $\"%22=%22\"$ $\"2root%283%2Cx%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1%2F2\"$ $\"%22=%22\"$ $\"root%283%2Cx%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%281%2F2%29%5E3\"$ $\"%22=%22\"$ $\"%28root%283%2Cx%29%29%5E3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1%2F8=x\"$ ,
\n" ); document.write( "or something like that. \n" ); document.write( "
