Math Problem Statement

8x5324=08x^{\frac53}-24=0

Solution

To solve the equation:

8x5324=08x^{\frac{5}{3}} - 24 = 0

Step 1: Isolate the term with xx

Add 24 to both sides:

8x53=248x^{\frac{5}{3}} = 24

Step 2: Divide by 8

Divide both sides of the equation by 8:

x53=248=3x^{\frac{5}{3}} = \frac{24}{8} = 3

Step 3: Raise both sides to the power of 35\frac{3}{5}

To eliminate the fractional exponent, raise both sides to the power of 35\frac{3}{5}:

x=335x = 3^{\frac{3}{5}}

This is the exact solution.

To express 3353^{\frac{3}{5}} as a decimal:

x1.933x \approx 1.933

So, the solution is approximately:

x1.933x \approx 1.933
