Learn how to solve an equation with a rational power by cubing both sides

The video tutorial explains how to solve an equation involving rational powers. It begins with isolating the variable Y raised to the 1/3 power, then proceeds to cube both sides of the equation to solve for Y. The solution is verified by substituting back into the original equation to ensure correctness.

What is the first step to isolate Y in the equation Y^(1/3) - 7 = 0?
