You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(x+5)^3/2 = 8
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "First, square both sides that gets rid of the denominator in the exponent
\n" ); document.write( "[(x+5)^3/2]^2 = 8^2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "(x+5)^3 = 64
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the cube root of both sides, (4 is the cube root of 64)
\n" ); document.write( "x + 5 = 4
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x = 4 - 5
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x = -1
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution in original equation, substitute -1 for x
\n" ); document.write( "(-1+5)^ 3/2 = 8
\n" ); document.write( "4^(3/2) = 8
\n" ); document.write( "Find the cube of 4 which is 64, then find the square root of 64
\n" ); document.write( " 8 = 8
\n" ); document.write( ";
