Answer:

x ≈ 18.7

Explanation:

This is a big equation, so let's break it down a bit.


(3)/(2) \sqrt[4]{(2(x-6) ^3 )} +4=16

Let's start by isolating the radical which is x.

So subtract 4 from both sides :


(3)/(2) \sqrt[4]{(2(x-6) ^3)}
=12

Now multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of the fraction :


3\sqrt[4]{(2(x-6)^3)} = 24

Now divide both sides by 3 to get rid of the number out of the poly root :


\sqrt[4]{2(x-6) ^3}
=8

Now take both sides of the equation to the power of 4 :


2x^3 - 36x^2+216x-432=4096

And lastly, solve :


x = 18.69920 which is rounded up to
x
18.7
