Solve for a -4(-7a-8)^(0(2/3))+10(-7a-8)^(0(1/3))-4=0

$- 4 {(- 7 a - 8)}^{0 (\frac{2}{3})} + 10 {(- 7 a - 8)}^{0 (\frac{1}{3})} - 4 = 0$

Step 1

Simplify $- 4 {(- 7 a - 8)}^{0 (\frac{2}{3})} + 10 {(- 7 a - 8)}^{0 (\frac{1}{3})} - 4$ .

Simplify each term.

Multiply $0$ by $\frac{2}{3}$ .

$- 4 {(- 7 a - 8)}^{0} + 10 {(- 7 a - 8)}^{0 (\frac{1}{3})} - 4 = 0$

Anything raised to $0$ is $1$ .

$- 4 \cdot 1 + 10 {(- 7 a - 8)}^{0 (\frac{1}{3})} - 4 = 0$

Multiply $- 4$ by $1$ .

$- 4 + 10 {(- 7 a - 8)}^{0 (\frac{1}{3})} - 4 = 0$

Multiply $0$ by $\frac{1}{3}$ .

$- 4 + 10 {(- 7 a - 8)}^{0} - 4 = 0$

Anything raised to $0$ is $1$ .

$- 4 + 10 \cdot 1 - 4 = 0$

Multiply $10$ by $1$ .

$- 4 + 10 - 4 = 0$

Simplify by adding and subtracting.

Add $- 4$ and $10$ .

$6 - 4 = 0$

Subtract $4$ from $6$ .

$2 = 0$

Step 2

Since $2 \neq 0$ , there are no solutions.

No solution
