Solve for x.
(x + 3)^4/3 = 81
I got the answer 24, but supposedly you can get a second answer which is -30 . .
But I don't know how to get that answer, please help me!

[(x+3)^1/3]^4 = 81
(x+3)^1/3 = +/- 3
x+3 = +- 27
x = -30, 24
(x+3)^1/3 = +/- 3
x+3 = +- 27
x = -30, 24

(x + 3)^1/3 = 81^1/4 = ±3, ±3i
3^3 = 27
(–3)^3 = –27
Subtract 3 to get 24 and –30
Also get two imaginary solutions
3^3 = 27
(–3)^3 = –27

Assuming that question should be shown as :-
( x + 3 )^(4/3) = 81
x + 3 = 81^(3/4)
x + 3 = 27
x = 24
( x + 3 )^(4/3) = 81
x + 3 = 81^(3/4)
x + 3 = 27
x = 24
