Math Problem Statement

0 equals square root of 64 minus x^3 solve for x

Solution

The equation you're trying to solve is:

0=64x30 = \sqrt{64 - x^3}

Step 1: Square both sides of the equation to eliminate the square root.

Since 64x3=0\sqrt{64 - x^3} = 0, squaring both sides gives:

02=(64x3)20^2 = (\sqrt{64 - x^3})^2 0=64x30 = 64 - x^3

Step 2: Solve for x3x^3.

Now, isolate x3x^3:

x3=64x^3 = 64

Step 3: Take the cube root of both sides.

To find xx, take the cube root of both sides:

x=643x = \sqrt[3]{64} x=4x = 4

Solution:

The solution to the equation is:

x=4x = 4
