Step 1.1

Multiply $x - 1$ by $x - 1$ .

${(x - 1)}^{2} (x - 1) = y$

Step 1.2

Step 1.2.1.1

Raise $x - 1$ to the power of $1$ .

${(x - 1)}^{2} {(x - 1)}^{1} = y$

Step 1.2.1.2

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

${(x - 1)}^{2 + 1} = y$

Step 1.2.2

Add $2$ and $1$ .

${(x - 1)}^{3} = y$

Step 2

Take the specified root of both sides of the equation to eliminate the exponent on the left side.

$x - 1 = \sqrt[3]{y}$

Step 3

Add $1$ to both sides of the equation.

$x = \sqrt[3]{y} + 1$
