Question
\\\sqrt3{x} + 9 = 4\\
🆕 New Concept Discovered: Solving Radical Equations
Undo the root to find the variable.
Step 1: Isolate the radical term
Subtract \(9\) from both sides of the equation to get the cube root term by itself.
$$
\sqrt[3]{x} + 9 = 4
$$
$$
\sqrt[3]{x} = 4 - 9
$$
$$
\sqrt[3]{x} = -5
$$
Step 2: Eliminate the cube root
To undo a cube root (\(\sqrt[3]{\phantom{x}}\)), raise both sides of the equation to the third power (cube both sides).
$$
(\sqrt[3]{x})^3 = (-5)^3
$$
$$
x = -125
$$
Step 3: Verify the solution
Substitute \(x = -125\) back into the original equation to check the answer.
$$
\sqrt[3]{-125} + 9 = -5 + 9 = 4
$$
The solution is correct.
