What cube root equals 387? In other words, what number would you take the cube root of to get 387? To solve this problem, we want to find x in the following equation:
∛x = 387
To solve the ∛x = 387 equation, we first raise both sides to the power of 3 to eliminate the cube root:
(∛x)³ = 387³
x = 387³
Then, we calculate 387³ to get the following answer:
387³ = 387 × 387 × 387
387³ = 57,960,603
∛57,960,603 = 387
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.
