Question

How do you solve `6root4(2a+3)=24`?

Answer 1

a = `253/2` or 126.5

Explanation:

`6(root(4)(2a+3))=24` First, divide both sides by 6.
`root(4)(2a+3)=4` Next, raise both sides to the 4th power.
`2a+3=256` Then, subtract 3 and divide by 2.
`2a = 253` and a = `253/2` or 126.5.

Answer 2

`a=126.5`

Explanation:

divide by 6:

`root4(2a+3)=24/6=4`

raise 4 powers higher:

`2a+3=4^4=256`

subtract 3:

`2a=253`

divide by 2:

`a=253/2=126.5`
