Answer

$c=331$

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $\Rightarrow \sqrt[3]{3c+7}=10$ Cube each side of the equation. $\Rightarrow (\sqrt[3]{3c+7})^3=10^3$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 3c+7=1000$ Subtract $7$ from each side. $\Rightarrow 3c+7-7=1000-7$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 3c=993$ Divide each side by $3$. $\Rightarrow \frac{3c}{3}=\frac{993}{3}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow c=331$ Check $c=331$. $\Rightarrow \sqrt[3]{3c+7}=10$ $\Rightarrow \sqrt[3]{3(331)+7}=10$ $\Rightarrow \sqrt[3]{993+7}=10$ $\Rightarrow \sqrt[3]{1000}=10$ $\Rightarrow \sqrt[3]{10^3}=10$ $\Rightarrow 10=10$ True. Hence, the solution is $c=331$.
