i'm not sure if -6 is out or inside the cubic root but i will solve it for both cases

In case of
\sqrt[3]{3x+1-4} =sqrt[3][-6] --> (by multiplying the power by 3)

3x+1-4 = -6

3x -3 = -6 ---> by adding 3 for the both sides

3x = -3 ---> by dividing both sides by 3

x = -1

in case of
\sqrt[3]{3x+1-4} = -6 ----> we will repeat the first step again
therefore,

3x + 1 -4 = (-6)^(3) = -216

3x -3 = -216 ----> by adding both sides by 3

3x = -213 ----> by dividing both sides by 3

x = (-213)/(3) = -71
then x = -71
I hope that helps ;)
