Let x 3 = k y 2 (for some constant k) \large\sqrt[3]{x}=\dfrac{k}{y^2} \color{#3D99F6}{ \text{(for some constant k)}} Plug in x = 8 x=8 and \text{and} y = 3 y=3 \rightarrow k = 9 2 = 18 \large\implies k=9\cdot2=18 Now plug in y = 3 2 in the main equation to get y=\dfrac32 \text{in the main equation to get} \rightarrow x = ( 4 k 9 ) 3 \large\implies x=\left(\dfrac{4k}9 \right)^3 now plug in the value of k obtained above to get \rightarrow x = 8 3 = 512 \large\implies x=8^3=\color{#D61F06}{\boxed{512}}
