If you are going to keep this up. using curt(x), or (x)^(1/3) for the
cube root of x is a lot more intelligible than sqrt[3]{x}

They are equal.

Let 'curt(x) ' denote the cube root of x, then

A^6 = 7*curt(20) - 19, trivially, and

B^6 = (curt(5/3) - curt(2/3))^6 = 7*curt(20) - 7, though it is a good

deal less trivial to do the simplification.

Which, of course, they are. Interesting that the TI-89's CAS gets it
wrong unless you give it a hint:

(7*20^(1/3)-19)^(1/6)=(5/3)^(1/3)-(2/3)^(1/3)

returns false.

7*20^(1/3)-19=((5/3)^(1/3)-(2/3)^(1/3))^6

returns true.

You could take the sixth power of each and find the answer quite
easily.

No; A is the sixth root of 7(20)^{1/3}-19, and B is the difference
between the cubic roots of 5/3 and of 2/3.
