49x4−4=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
49x4=0+4
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
49x4=4
Divide both sides
4949x4=494
Divide the numbers
x4=494
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
