It usually works well in radical equations to isolate the radical. Here that would mean adding 2 to both sides of the equation, to undo the subtraction of 2.
Now, it is convenient to raise both sides of the equation to the 3rd power.
Finally, we can isolate the variable by undoing the addition of 1. We accomplish that by adding -1 to both sides of the equation.
The equation is solved. The solution is x = 7.
