Answer:
![\sqrt[3]{9}](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/high-school/x7yjkvfgcp70iq7b14uh4ar0174doopf1j.png)
Explanation:
1) Add 13 on both sides 5+13=18
2) Divide both sides by 2 18÷2=9
3) Take the cubed root of both sides; since 9 does not have a perfect cubed root you can no longer simplify it
4) answer is x =
![\sqrt[3]{9}](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/high-school/x7yjkvfgcp70iq7b14uh4ar0174doopf1j.png)
2x³ - 13 = 5
+ 13 +13
(2x³ = 18) ÷ 2
∛(x³=9)
x = ∛9
