Exercise 55 Page 396

To solve equations with a variable expression raised to a rational exponent, we first want to make sure the variable expression is isolated. Then we can raise each side of the equation to the reciprocal of the rational exponent.
Let's try to solve our equation using this method!

Finding the Solutions

We will first isolate the variable expression raised to a rational exponent, and then raise each side of the equation to the power of
