What cube root equals 159? In other words, what number would you take the cube root of to get 159? To solve this problem, we want to find x in the following equation:
∛x = 159
To solve the ∛x = 159 equation, we first raise both sides to the power of 3 to eliminate the cube root:
(∛x)³ = 159³
x = 159³
Then, we calculate 159³ to get the following answer:
159³ = 159 × 159 × 159
159³ = 4,019,679
∛4,019,679 = 159
We made the equation above so you will get a full understanding of how to solve problems like this. In the future, note that you can solve all similar problems by simply multiplying the number by itself twice to get the answer.
