You can put this solution on YOUR website!
sqrt%28x%5E3%29+=+8
.
If you square both sides of this equation you get:
.
x%5E3+=+64
.
From this you can ask yourself, "What number cubed equals 64?" Hint: try +4. Minus 4
will not work because -4 cubed is -64.
.
Hope this problem shows you that a common way to get rid of a square root is to get it
by itself on one side of an equation and then square both sides of the equation.
