In order to solve the given expression follow these steps:
1. Take the square roots on both sides in order to get rid of the power on the left side:
√(x-5)² = ±√3
x - 5 = ±√3
2. add 5 on both sides:
x-5 + 5 = 5 ±√3
x = 5 ±√3
Then, the solution is x = 5 ±√3
Your answer would be 1...
X=1/2
Hope this helped! :3
The answer is 0.027, you are correct. 0.3 to the third power means 0.3 x 0.3 x 0.3 and that equals 0.027
