Rewrite equation: We are given the equation 11a=6115. The sixth root of a number is the same as raising that number to the power of 61. So we can rewrite the equation as:11a=(115)61
Simplify right side: Using the property of exponents that (xm)n=xm∗n, we can simplify the right side of the equation: 11a=115∗(1/6)
Equate exponents: Now we have 11a=1165. Since the bases are the same, we can equate the exponents:a=65
