Answer:

Add 5 to both sides of the equation.

6x=-12

Divide both sides by 6 to get x alone.

x=-2

Simplify and leave in radical form. <br> 8√x^2 y^6

IrinaK [193]

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sqrt[8]{ {x}^{2} {y}^{6} } \\ \\ = ( {x}^{2} {y}^{6} )^{ \frac{1}{8} } \\ \\ = {x}^{2 \times \frac{1}{8}} {y}^{6\times \frac{1}{8}} \\ \\ = x^{\frac{1}{4}} {y}^{3\times \frac{1}{4}} \\ \\ = x^{\frac{1}{4}} {y}^{\frac{3}{4}} \\ \\ = \sqrt[4]{x {y}^{3} } \\$
