Solution Steps

To solve the equation \((5x + 66)^{1/4} = -3\), we first recognize that the fourth root of a real number cannot be negative. Therefore, there are no real solutions to this equation.

Step 1: Analyze the Equation

We start with the equation

\[ (5x + 66)^{1/4} = -3. \]

Step 2: Consider the Properties of Roots

The fourth root of any real number is defined to be non-negative. Therefore,

\[ (5x + 66)^{1/4} \geq 0. \]

Since \(-3\) is negative, there are no values of \(x\) that can satisfy this equation.

Final Answer

The solution set is \(\boxed{\text{No real solutions}}\).
