Answer 2

`x^(3)= (125)/(27)`

To solve for x, we have to get rid of the
`^3` so we do the opposite which is
`\sqrt[3]{}`


`x = \sqrt[3]{ (125)/(27) } =  (5)/(3)`

The reason it's just positive and not ± is because since it is multiplied by itself 3 times, so if it were to be negative, the fraction would be negative.
