Solve for W cube root of W=3

$\sqrt[3]{W} = 3$

Step 1

To remove the radical on the left side of the equation, cube both sides of the equation.

${\sqrt[3]{W}}^{3} = 3^{3}$

Step 2

Simplify each side of the equation.

Use $\sqrt[n]{a^{x}} = a^{\frac{x}{n}}$ to rewrite $\sqrt[3]{W}$ as $W^{\frac{1}{3}}$ .

${(W^{\frac{1}{3}})}^{3} = 3^{3}$

Simplify the left side.

Simplify ${(W^{\frac{1}{3}})}^{3}$ .

Multiply the exponents in ${(W^{\frac{1}{3}})}^{3}$ .

Apply the power rule and multiply exponents, ${(a^{m})}^{n} = a^{m n}$ .

$W^{\frac{1}{3} \cdot 3} = 3^{3}$

Cancel the common factor of $3$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$W^{\frac{1}{3} \cdot 3} = 3^{3}$

Rewrite the expression.

$W^{1} = 3^{3}$

Simplify.

$W = 3^{3}$

Simplify the right side.

Raise $3$ to the power of $3$ .

$W = 27$
