\frac{1}{3}\left(x-4\right)^{2}-3+3=3
Add 3 to both sides of the equation.
\frac{1}{3}\left(x-4\right)^{2}=3
Subtracting 3 from itself leaves 0.
\frac{\frac{1}{3}\left(x-4\right)^{2}}{\frac{1}{3}}=\frac{3}{\frac{1}{3}}
Multiply both sides by 3.
\left(x-4\right)^{2}=\frac{3}{\frac{1}{3}}
Dividing by \frac{1}{3} undoes the multiplication by \frac{1}{3}.
\left(x-4\right)^{2}=9
Divide 3 by \frac{1}{3} by multiplying 3 by the reciprocal of \frac{1}{3}.
x-4=3 x-4=-3
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x-4-\left(-4\right)=3-\left(-4\right) x-4-\left(-4\right)=-3-\left(-4\right)
Add 4 to both sides of the equation.
x=3-\left(-4\right) x=-3-\left(-4\right)
Subtracting -4 from itself leaves 0.
x=7
Subtract -4 from 3.
x=1
Subtract -4 from -3.
x=7 x=1
The equation is now solved.
