Given:
Joining fee = $28
Fee of each event = $4
To find:
Total cost for someone to attend 4 events.
Solution:
Let the number of events be x and total fee be y.
Fee for 1 event = $4
Fee for x events = $4x
Joining fee remains constant. So, the total fee is
Substitute x=4 in this equation.
Therefore, total cost of 4 events is $44.
To get rid of 
, you have to take the third root of both sides:
![\sqrt[3]{x^{3}} = \sqrt[3]{1}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%5E%7B3%7D%7D%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B1%7D%20)
