X is raised to a certain power and gives 8. Try reversing both sides. Raise both sides to the (4/3) power and see how this works. BOTH sides.

An extremely simple EXAMPLE for comparison is this:
%285%5E2%29%5E%281%2F2%29=5%5E%282%2A%281%2F2%29%29=5%5E1=5.

If you have R%5E%28u%2Fv%29, then undo this by doing %28R%5E%28u%2Fv%29%29%5E%28v%2Fu%29=R.
