Select the correct answer. Carly tutors students in math on the weekends and offers both thirty minute sessions. She earns $15 for each thirty-minute session and $25 for each sixty minute session.

If she earned $230 this passed weekend and had x thirty-minute sessions and x - 2 sixty minute sessions, what is the value of x?

since your problem is x^4 = 81, what you have to undeo is the "to the fourth power" part.

the inverse (opposite operation) of "to the fourth power" is "to the fourth root".

  (x^4) ^ ¼   = 81 ^ ¼  

  81 = 3^4     so (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ 1   = 3

by hand: (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ (4 x ¼) = 3 ^ 1   = 3   (when you take a power to a power, multiply the exponents.)

or, do it by calculator. one way of finding the fourth root is to use ^ (1/4)
