To solve the equation 5x^(4/3) = 80, we need to isolate x.

First, we can divide both sides of the equation by 5 to get x^(4/3) = 16.

Next, we can raise both sides of the equation to the power of 3/4 to get rid of the rational exponent. This gives us (x^(4/3))^(3/4) = 16^(3/4).

Simplifying both sides, we have x = 16^(3/4).

To calculate 16^(3/4), we can raise 16 to the power of 3 and then take the fourth root.

16^3 = 4096

Then, taking the fourth root of 4096, we get x ≈ 16.

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x ≈ 16.
