Math Problem Statement

The cube root of a number, increased by four is six.

Solution

Let's define the unknown number as xx.

According to the problem, the cube root of the number, increased by four, equals six. We can write this as the equation:

x3+4=6\sqrt[3]{x} + 4 = 6

To solve for xx, follow these steps:

  1. Subtract 4 from both sides:

x3=64\sqrt[3]{x} = 6 - 4 x3=2\sqrt[3]{x} = 2

  1. Now, cube both sides to eliminate the cube root:

x=23x = 2^3 x=8x = 8

So, the number is x=8x = 8.
