60-%281%2F20%29%28x%2B75%29%5E%283%2F2%29=10
multiply each side by 20
1200+-+%28x%2B75%29%5E%283%2F2%29=200
add -1200 to each side
*
+-+%28x%2B75%29%5E%283%2F2%29=+-+1000
*
+%28x%2B75%29%5E%283%2F2%29=+1000
*
raise each side to the 2/3 power
*
+%28x%2B75%29=+1000%5E%282%2F3%29
*
+%28x%2B75%29=+%281000%5E2%29%5E%281%2F3%29%29

+%28x%2B75%29=+%281000000%29%5E%281%2F3%29%29

+%28x%2B75%29=+%28100%5E3%29%5E%281%2F3%29%29

+x%2B75=+100

add -75 to each side
x = 25
