Note that....... a-b = 1/ab
So (x)-2/3 = 1/x2/3
So we have
1/x2/3 = 64/9 Note something, that if two fractions are equal, then so are their reciprocals.....so we have
x2/3 = 9/64 Now, to get x by itself, raise each side to the 3/2 power....so we have
(x2/3 )3/2 = (9/64)3/2
x = (9/64)3/2 Note that the expression on the right can be written as [(9/64)1/2 ]3 which is the same thing as [√(9/64)]3 = (3/8)3 = 33/ 83 = 27 / 512
And that's our answer....
