The Given equation is  (x-7)^4/3 =1, which  on cubing both sides would yield (x-7)^4 =1.

 

This is an equation of degree 4 and would give 4 roots of x, as derived below

 

(x-7)^4 =1

 

Or, (x-7)^2= 1   and (x-7)^2 = -1

 

Or, x-7= 1, -1   and x-7 = i   , -i

 

Or, x = 8 , 6       and x= 7 + i  , 7-i
