Evaluate
x4×x3
Use the product rule an×am=an+m to simplify the expression
x4+3
Add the numbers
x7
x7−1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x7=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x7=1
Take the 7-th root on both sides of the equation
7x7=71
Calculate
x=71
Solution
x=1
