14641u4−1331=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
14641u4=0+1331
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
14641u4=1331
Divide both sides
1464114641u4=146411331
Divide the numbers
u4=146411331
Cancel out the common factor 1331
u4=111
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
