3 (x-4)^4 = 1875
(x-4)^4 = 625
Find the 4th root of 625.
a^4 = 625
4 log a = log 625
log a = (log 625) / 4 = 0.69897
a = 5
5 = x - 4, so x = 9

asked 06/10/19This equation is on my retake assignment for one of my tests: 3(x - 4)^4 = 1875
It needs to be solved using nth roots. The problem is, I have not seen a single example of how to solve an equation with nth roots when there is a number before X when X is in parentheses and it has stuff in said parentheses.
