To solve the equation \( y^7 - 3 = 39 \), Beejal can follow these steps:
-
Add 3 to both sides: \[ y^7 - 3 + 3 = 39 + 3 \] This simplifies to: \[ y^7 = 42 \]
-
Now he will multiply both sides by 1 (which is not necessary, but let's assume we need to transform the equation). For clarity, let's just solve for \( y \) next:
-
Take the seventh root of both sides (instead of multiplying, as we need to isolate \( y \)): \[ y = 42^{1/7} \]
Thus, the final answer is: \[ y = 42^{1/7} \]
