Solve for x

1 answer:

Answer:

x = 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

5x - 2(x + 1) = 1/4

Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>

<u>Distribute -2:</u> 5x - 2x - 2 = 1/4
<u>Combine like terms:</u> 3x - 2 = 1/4
<u>Add 2 to both sides:</u> 3x = 9/4
<u>Divide both sides by 3:</u> x = 3/4

Step 3: Check

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

5(3/4) - 2(3/4 + 1) = 1/4

15/4 - 2(7/4) = 1/4

15/4 - 14/4 = 1/4

1/4 = 1/4

Answer:

First option $6^\frac{1}{6}$ is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider each part, we have number 6 inside all the roots.

First we have to find cube root of 6.

$\sqrt[3]{6} =6^\frac{1}{3}$

Now we have to find square root of this value.

$\sqrt{6^\frac{1}{3} } =(6^\frac{1}{3} )^\frac{1}{2} =6^\frac{1}{6}$

So, first option $6^\frac{1}{6}$ is the correct answer.
