Solve for x over the real numbers:2 x^2 - 3 x - 2 = x + 4
Subtract x + 4 from both sides:2 x^2 - 4 x - 6 = 0
The left hand side factors into a product with three terms:2 (x - 3) (x + 1) = 0
Divide both sides by 2:(x - 3) (x + 1) = 0
Split into two equations:x - 3 = 0 or x + 1 = 0
Add 3 to both sides:x = 3 or x + 1 = 0
Subtract 1 from both sides:Answer: x = 3 or x = -1
First you want to subtract 36
so it looks like this ![\sqrt[4] {(4x+164)^3}=64](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%20%7B%284x%2B164%29%5E3%7D%3D64)
Then you want to cancel out the square root 4 by raising that to the 4th power (you must do this to both sides)
which is equal to 
Then you take the cube root to both sides [tex]\sqrt[3]{(4x+164)^3}=\sqrt[3]{16777216}[tex]
Then you end up with the equation 4x+164=256
Then subtract 164 to both sides
4x=92
then divide 92 by 4
Then you get x=23
I think the answer is 25.5. Although, I don't know how you would have half a bike unless there was a 3 wheel bike which would make the answer 24.
I believe the answer is 3 and 3/5
