Good try anon but you multiplied in the 3rd line instead of dividing.

 

$$\\498-3x^8=216\\
-3x^8=-282\\
x^8=94\\
x=\pm\; 94^{1/8}\\$$

 

$${{\mathtt{94}}}^{\left({\frac{{\mathtt{1}}}{{\mathtt{8}}}}\right)} = {\mathtt{1.764\: \!578\: \!493\: \!147\: \!236}}$$

 

$$x\approx \pm\; 1.76457849314$$

498-3*x^8=216

-3X^8=216-498

-3X^8=-282  //*-3

X^8=846 // ROOT 8

X=2.322315898...=2.3                              

answer 2.3
