Set the whole expression = to 0 and solve for x.
3x^(5/3) - 4x^(7/3) = 0. Factor out x^(5/3): x^(5/3) [3 - 4x^(2/3)] = 0
Then either x^(5/3) = 0, or 3 - 4x^(2/3) = 0.
In the latter case, 4x^(2/3) = 3.
To solve this: mult. both sides by x^(-2/3). Then we have
4x^(2/3)x^(-2/3) = 3x^(-2/3), or 4 = 3x^(-2/3). It'd be easier to work with this if we rewrote it as
4 3
--- = --------------------
1 x^(+2/3)
Then
4
--- = x^(-2/3). Then, x^(2/3) = (3/4), and x = (3/4)^(3/2). According to my 3 calculator, that comes out to x = 0.65 (approx.)
Check this result! subst. 0.65 for x in the given equation. Is the equation then true?
My method here was a bit roundabout, and longer than it should have been. Can you think of a more elegant (and shorter) solution?
Let the number be x
Equation:
12 + 5x = -3
Answer: The equation is 12 + 5x = -3
Solve it:
5x = -3 - 12
5x = -15
x = -15 ÷ 5
x = -3
Answer: The number is -3.
We know that the equation of the line is in the form 
. To find b, we can use the fact that (6,-5) lies on the line, meaning that both sides of the equation are equal when x=6 and y=-5.
Hence, the equation of the line is 
, and its graph looks something like follows.
X = (12 +- sqrt (144 -4(7)(3))/14
x = (12 + - sqrt (144 - 84))/14
x = (12 + - sqrt(60))/14
x = (12 + - 2sqrt 15))/14
x = (6 + - sqrt 15) / 7
