Given:


(4x)^{(1)/(3)}-x=0

To solve for x:

The first step in solving the equation is to add x on both sides, we get


\begin{gathered} (4x)^{(1)/(3)}-x+x=x \\ (4x)^{(1)/(3)}=x \end{gathered}

The second step in solving the equation is to take the cube on both sides we get,


\begin{gathered} 4x=x^3 \\ x^3-4x=0 \end{gathered}

Solving this equation for x initially yields three possible values.


\begin{gathered} x(x^2-4)=0\Rightarrow x=0^{} \\ Since,x^2=4 \\ \Rightarrow x=\pm2 \end{gathered}

Hence, 0, -2, and 2 are the valid solutions.
