In this problem, we're being asked to solve the given equation, x to the 1 3rd minus 2 is equal to 0.
00:06
Now, the first thing we have to do is isolate our x to the 1 3rd term.
00:10
So how are we going to move the 2 to the other side? well, we're going to add it because negative 2 plus 2 is 0, so they'll cancel each other up.
00:18
So this leaves us with x to the 1 3rd power equal to 0 plus 2, which is just 2.
00:24
So from here, you can do a couple of different things, but our ultimate goal is to get x by itself, meaning our exponent would have to equal to 1.
00:33
Well, if you recall your power rule for exponents, if you have a to the m power, getting raised to the n power, the result is a to the m times n power.

In other words, so you multiply your exponents...
