\n" ); document.write( "what is the cube root of x -5=3
\n" ); document.write( "From what I understand cube root is the same as writing 1/3
\n" ); document.write( "This is what I have tried to figure it out:
\n" ); document.write( "cube root of x -5+5=3+5

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Not quite right...you are OK up to this point:
\n" ); document.write( "cube_root_of x=8
\n" ); document.write( "But to find x, you need to cube both side of the equation:
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=8%5E3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28x=512%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "You were confusing how to incorporate that 1/3 term...
\n" ); document.write( "The cube_root_of x is also written as:
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E%281%2F3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Don't confuse that with what you did
\n" ); document.write( "=================
