To solve for \( x \) in the equation \( x^5 = 20 \), you can take the fifth root of both sides:
\[ x = \sqrt[5]{20} \]
You can also express this in exponent form:
\[ x = 20^{1/5} \]
This gives you the value of \( x \). If you need a numerical approximation, you can compute it as follows:
\[ x \approx 20^{0.2} \approx 2.659 \]
So, the solution is:
\[ x \approx 2.659 \]
