What cube root equals 170? In other words, what number would you take the cube root of to get 170? To solve this problem, we want to find x in the following equation:
∛x = 170
To solve the ∛x = 170 equation, we first raise both sides to the power of 3 to eliminate the cube root:
(∛x)³ = 170³
x = 170³
Then, we calculate 170³ to get the following answer:
170³ = 170 × 170 × 170
170³ = 4,913,000
∛4,913,000 = 170
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.
