Solve for x:
2x%5E%281%2F5%29%2B2+=+4.4 Subtract 2 from both sides.
2x%5E%281%2F5%29+=+2.4 Divide both sides by 2.
x%5E%281%2F5%29+=+1.2 Now raise both sides to the fifth power.
%28x%5E%281%2F5%29%29%5E5+=+%281.2%29%5E5
x+=+2.48832
Check:
2x%5E%281%2F5%29+%2B+2+=+4.4 Substitute x+=+2.48832
2%282.48832%29%5E%281%2F5%29+%2B+2+=+4.4
2%281.2%29%2B2+=+4.4
2.4+%2B+2+=+4.4
4.4+=+4.4 OK!
