Useful root property: n√xn√y=n√xyGiven:
(3√4)(√5.5)=(√22)(3√x)Divide both sides by
√5.5 to get:
3√4=(√22)(3√x)√5.5Divide both sides by
3√x to get:
3√43√x=√22√5.5Apply above
property to both sides to get:
3√4x=√225.5Simplify right side:
3√4x=√4Simplify right side:
3√4x=2Raise both sides to the power of 3 to get:
(3√4x)3=22Simplify:
4x=8Solve:
x=48=12Answer: B

I think,seems little mistake in the last portion. It will be
Corrected line: Raise both sides to the power of 3 to get:
(3√4x)3=23
