Understanding Exponents and Roots

The video tutorial explains how to solve for the variable d in an equation involving exponents and roots. It begins by removing roots by converting them into exponents, then addresses how to eliminate fractions by manipulating exponents. The tutorial concludes by equating both sides of the equation to find that d equals negative one-seventh. Additional resources and tutoring are offered for further clarification.

What is the main goal of the example discussed in the video?

• To solve for the variable x

• To find the value of d

• To understand the concept of roots

• To learn about fractions
