![### Solving Exponential Equations for Educational Purposes
#### Problem Statement:
Solve for \( x \):
\[ (x - 2)^{7/3} = 128 \]
\[ x = \]
#### Explanation:
To solve this equation, we need to isolate \( x \). Follow these steps:
1. **Identify the exponential part**: We see the term \((x - 2)^{7/3}\).
2. **Isolate the base term**: Remove the exponent by raising both sides of the equation to the reciprocal of \(\frac{7}{3}\).
3. **Calculate**: Proceed with finding the numerical value through algebraic manipulation.
This involves recognizing the relationship between exponents and roots, and using algebraic properties to isolate \( x \).
Solving such problems helps students understand the manipulation of exponents and roots, which are critical in algebra and higher-level mathematics. Complete the solution to find the value of \( x \).](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F4ed3be98-469b-4630-9026-6d8c89f34a56%2F6afb144d-1a96-46ad-997e-5ed6f64083d2%2Fji09y8_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
