I can only assume that you meant, "Solve for x:"

Apply the exponent 3/2 to both sides of this equation. The result will be

3/2

343 = x/6.

Multiplying both sides by 6 isolates x:

3/2

6*343 = x Since 7^3 = 343, the expression for x

can be rewritten as

3/2

6*(7^3) = x which can be further simplified, as follows:


x = 6^(3/2)*7^(9/2), or:

x = 6^(3/2)*7^(8/2)*√7, or

x = 6^(3/2)*7^4*√7
