Reduce the fraction 4/10, to its minimum expression, extracting and canceling 2.
Combine
and -2x to get
.
Subtract 8/5 from both sides.
Since 4/5 and 5/8 have the same denominator, join their numerators to subtract them.
Subtract 8 from 4 to get -4.
Multiply both sides by
, the reciprocal of
.
Multiply -4/5 by -5/8 (to do this, multiply the numerator by the numerator and the denominator by the denominator).
Reduce the fraction 20/40 to its lowest expression by extracting and canceling 20.

X^(3/5) = 1.84
x^(3/5) = (1.84)
Raise both sides of the equation to (5/3).
This is so that on the side with x, 3/5 * 5/3 = 1.
(x^3/5 )^5/3 = (1.84)^(5/3)
x^(3/5 * 5/3) = 1.84^(5/3)
x^1 = 1.84^(5/3)
x = 1.84^(5/3)
But remember we are solving for x^2.
x = 1.84^(5/3)
x^2 = (1.84^(5/3))^2
x^2 = 1.84^(5/3 *2 )
x^2 = 1.84^(10/3)
Use a calculator here.
x^2 = 1.84^(10/3) ≈ 7.63
Option A.
