How to solve for an equation where the variable is added with an exponent?

36 Views Asked by At

I've got a formula that calculates for the $x$ using $y$. This seems like it should be easy, but I find myself hitting a wall due to the $(99 * y)$. Without that it would obviously be quite trivial. What steps are needed to solve the equation for $y$?

$x = (99 * y) + y^4$
