SOLUTION: How would you go about solving 3x^4 = 24x? I took 3x*3x*3x*3x and got 81x=24x. I'm stuck now and I don't know where to go from here.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
solving 3x^4 = 24x
simplify, divide both sides by 3x, resulting in
x^3 = 8
the cube root of 8 is 2
x = 2
:
Check
3(2^4) = 48
24(2) = 48
