What is the solution of the equation?
A. –5, 11
B. 5
C. 11
D. –11

Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
4[tex](3-x)^{\frac{4}{3} }[/tex] - 5 = 59 ( add 5 to both sides )
4[tex](3-x)^{\frac{4}{3} }[/tex] = 64 ( divide both sides by 4 )
[tex](3-x)^{\frac{4}{3} }[/tex] = 16 ( cube both sides )
[tex](3-x)^{4}[/tex] = 16³ = 4096 ( take the fourth root of both sides )
3 - x = ± 8, thus
3 - x = 8 ( subtract 3 from both sides )
- x = 5 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
x = - 5
OR
3 - x = - 8 ( subtract 3 from both sides )
- x = - 11 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
x = 11
Thus x = - 5, 11 → A
