Solve the Rational Equation for x -5126=-6-5(3x+22)^(5/3)

$- 5126 = - 6 - 5 {(3 x + 22)}^{\frac{5}{3}}$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as $- 6 - 5 {(3 x + 22)}^{\frac{5}{3}} = - 5126$ .

$- 6 - 5 {(3 x + 22)}^{\frac{5}{3}} = - 5126$

Step 2

Move all terms not containing $x$ to the right side of the equation.

Add $6$ to both sides of the equation.

$- 5 {(3 x + 22)}^{\frac{5}{3}} = - 5126 + 6$

Add $- 5126$ and $6$ .

$- 5 {(3 x + 22)}^{\frac{5}{3}} = - 5120$

Step 3

Raise each side of the equation to the power of $\frac{3}{5}$ to eliminate the fractional exponent on the left side.

${(- 5 {(3 x + 22)}^{\frac{5}{3}})}^{\frac{3}{5}} = {(- 5120)}^{\frac{3}{5}}$

Step 4

Simplify the left side.

Simplify ${(- 5 {(3 x + 22)}^{\frac{5}{3}})}^{\frac{3}{5}}$ .

Apply the product rule to $- 5 {(3 x + 22)}^{\frac{5}{3}}$ .

${(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}} {({(3 x + 22)}^{\frac{5}{3}})}^{\frac{3}{5}} = {(- 5120)}^{\frac{3}{5}}$

Multiply the exponents in ${({(3 x + 22)}^{\frac{5}{3}})}^{\frac{3}{5}}$ .

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

${(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}} {(3 x + 22)}^{\frac{5}{3} \cdot \frac{3}{5}} = {(- 5120)}^{\frac{3}{5}}$

Cancel the common factor of $5$ .

Cancel the common factor.

${(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}} {(3 x + 22)}^{\frac{5}{3} \cdot \frac{3}{5}} = {(- 5120)}^{\frac{3}{5}}$

Rewrite the expression.

${(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}} {(3 x + 22)}^{\frac{1}{3} \cdot 3} = {(- 5120)}^{\frac{3}{5}}$

Cancel the common factor of $3$ .

Cancel the common factor.

${(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}} {(3 x + 22)}^{\frac{1}{3} \cdot 3} = {(- 5120)}^{\frac{3}{5}}$

Rewrite the expression.

${(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}} {(3 x + 22)}^{1} = {(- 5120)}^{\frac{3}{5}}$

Simplify.

${(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}} (3 x + 22) = {(- 5120)}^{\frac{3}{5}}$

Simplify by multiplying through.

Apply the distributive property.

${(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}} (3 x) + {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}} \cdot 22 = {(- 5120)}^{\frac{3}{5}}$

Move $22$ to the left of ${(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}}$ .

${(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}} \cdot 3 x + 22 \cdot {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}} = {(- 5120)}^{\frac{3}{5}}$

Move $3$ to the left of ${(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}}$ .

$3 {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}} x + 22 {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}} = {(- 5120)}^{\frac{3}{5}}$

Reorder factors in $3 {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}} x + 22 {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}}$ .

$3 x {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}} + 22 {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}} = {(- 5120)}^{\frac{3}{5}}$

Step 5

Solve for $x$ .

Subtract $22 {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}}$ from both sides of the equation.

$3 x {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}} = {(- 5120)}^{\frac{3}{5}} - 22 {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}}$

Divide each term in $3 x {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}} = {(- 5120)}^{\frac{3}{5}} - 22 {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}}$ by $3 {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}}$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $3 x {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}} = {(- 5120)}^{\frac{3}{5}} - 22 {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}}$ by $3 {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}}$ .

$\frac{3 x {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}}}{3 {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}}} = \frac{{(- 5120)}^{\frac{3}{5}}}{3 {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}}} + \frac{- 22 {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}}}{3 {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}}}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{3 x {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}}}{3 {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}}} = \frac{{(- 5120)}^{\frac{3}{5}}}{3 {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}}} + \frac{- 22 {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}}}{3 {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}}}$

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{x {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}}}{{(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}}} = \frac{{(- 5120)}^{\frac{3}{5}}}{3 {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}}} + \frac{- 22 {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}}}{3 {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}}}$

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{x {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}}}{{(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}}} = \frac{{(- 5120)}^{\frac{3}{5}}}{3 {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}}} + \frac{- 22 {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}}}{3 {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}}}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{{(- 5120)}^{\frac{3}{5}}}{3 {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}}} + \frac{- 22 {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}}}{3 {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}}}$

Simplify the right side.

Simplify each term.

Cancel the common factor.

$x = \frac{{(- 5120)}^{\frac{3}{5}}}{3 {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}}} + \frac{- 22 {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}}}{3 {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}}}$

Rewrite the expression.

$x = \frac{{(- 5120)}^{\frac{3}{5}}}{3 {(- 5)}^{\frac{3}{5}}} + \frac{- 22}{3}$
