Question

What is the solution to the equation? 2(x-4)3/2=54

Answer 1

Answer: 22

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x-4)3/2=54    

    Since [2(x-4) is 2x-8], we have:

(2x-8)3/2=54

      Multiply both sides by 2:  

(2x-8)3=108

       Divide both sides by 3:

(2x-8)=36

      Remove parentheses and add 8 to both sides:

2x=44

      Divide both sides by 2:

x = 22
