    at 3:47 you break 84 into 64+16+4. that is the key point of the method. but how did you choose those numbers.
    My method is to look for the largest integer square less than 84 which is 4^3=64 so then with x=4 we find
    x²+x= 16 +4=84-64.
    The hard part of maths is not the manipulation it is the direction.

    X=2^60......May be
    ^=read as to the power
    *=read as square root
    As per question
    X^(1/10)+x^(1/15)+x^(1/30)=84
    So,
    X^(6/60)+x^(4/60)+x^(2/30)=84
    So,
    {(X^(1/60)^6+{x^(1/60)}^4+{x^(1/60)}^2=84
    Let x^(1/60)=R
    So,
    R^6+R^4+R^2=84
    Though the equation is sixth powered, so H&T method is applicable
    If R=2, then
    (2^6)+(2^4)+(2^2)
    =64+16+4=84, satisfies the equation
    Hence R=2
    So,
    X^(1/60)=2
    {X^(1/60)}^60=2^60
    X=2^60......((Ans)

    ²³
    In the three - (x)^(1/10), (x)^(1/15), (x)^(1/30), the last one is the least index-numbered.
    Call a = x^(1/30). Then x^(1/10) = [x^(1/30)]³ = a³; x^(1/15) = [x^(1/30)]² = a².
    ∴ a³+a²+a¹ = 84 which can be expressed as sum of cube, square & itself is: 84=4³+4²+4¹=64+16+4.
    Then, (a³ -4³)+(a² -4²)+(a -4) = 0. Now reduction of the factors as lesser powered(indexed) ones. Taking (a -4) as common,
    (a -4)[(a²+4a+16)+(a+4)+1] =0.
    (a -4)[(a²+5a+21)] =0.
    One solution is (a -4) =0 → a = 4.
    Now the quadratic: a²+5a+21 =0; in which discriminant D =√[(-5)² -4 . 1 . 21] =√[25 -84] = √(-59) which is not real.
    solutions: ½[-5±√-59] - not real solutions.
    i)a = x^(1/30)= 4
    [x^(1/30)]³⁰=4³⁰ = x.
    x = (2²)³⁰= 2⁶⁰ =(2¹⁰)⁶ = 1024⁶ = 1.152925505 X 10¹⁸.
