    more complicated than it need have been. m had to be positive to allow real sqrt(m).
    in which case y must be positive so case 2 is the only possible solution.
    Also. evaluating m from y. we did not need to solve any equation we just needed arithmetic to find (( sqrt3-1)/3)^6

    GREAT WORKS IN YOUR MASTERFUL CALCULATION, especially in the very last segment of the m[value]...
    Soln:
    m^1/3 + m^1/2 = 2/27
    (m^1/3) + (m^1/3)^3/2 = 2/27
    Let u = m^1/3
    u + u^3/2 = 2/27
    (u^1/2)^2 + (u^1/2)^3 = 2/27. Let y = u^1/2
    y^2 + y^3 =2/27
    y^3 + y^2 - 2/27 = 0 [x 27 both sides]
    27y^3 + 27y^2 - 2 = 0
    27y^3 + 18y^2 - 6y + 9y^2 + 6y - 2 = 0
    3y(9y^2+6y-2)+1(9y^2+6y-2)=0
    (3y+1)(9y^2+6y-2) = 0
    3y+1 =0. 9y^2+6y-2=0
    3y = -1
    y = -1/3
    2nd[eqn]
    y = -6 +/- sqr 108/18
    = -6 +/- sqr36.sqr3/18
    = -6+/- 6sqr3/18
    = -1 +/- sqr3/3
    y = sqr3 - 1/3. Or
    -sqr3 - 1/3
    u^1/2 = -1/3
    u = (-1/3)^2
    = 1/9
    u^1/2 = sqr3 - 1/3
    u = [ sqr3 - 1/3]^2
    = 3 - 2sqr3 + 1/9
    u = 4 - 2sqr3/9
    u^1/2 = -sqr3 - 1/3
    u = [-sqr3 - 1/3]^2
    = 3 + 2sqr3 + 1/9
    u = 4 +2sqr3/9
    u = m^1/3. ; u = 1/9
    m^1/3 = 1/9
    m = (1/9)^3
    m = 1/729
    Check: 1/9 + 1/27
    = 3 + 1/27 = 2/27
    4/27 = 2/27
    Therefore m=1/729 is not valid
    u = 4 - 2sqr3/9
    m^1/3 = u
    m^1/3 = (4 - 2sqr3/9)^3
    m = 16 - 8sqr3 - 8sqr3 + 12[4 - 2sqr3] /729
    =16-32sqr3+12[4 - 2sqr3]/729
    = 28 -16sqr3[4 -2sqr3]/729
    = 112 - 56sqr3 - 64sqr3 + 96/729
    = 112+96-120sqr3/729
    = 208 - 120sqr3 /729
    Check: m^1/3 + m^1/2 = 2/27
    0.0595 + 0.0145 = 2/27
    = 0.074 = 2/27 = 0.0740
    Therefore :
    208 - 120 sqr 3 / 729
    is valid
    m^1/3 = 4 + 2sqr3 /9
    m = [ 4 + 2sqr3/9 ] ^3
    m = 208 + 120sqr3/729
    This result is invalid....

    Substitution m=y^6 is a not equivalent transformation and could produce solution outside the domain of m, m^1/2, and m^1/3. The domain of y^6 should be established.
    From m^1/2 >=0 => (y^6)^1/2 >= 0 => y^3>=0 => y>=0. (checking the domain of m^1/3 and the domain of m will not provide any further restrictions to the domain of y).
    Since y is positive the negative solutions y1 and y3 are rejected.
    The domains for substitution m=y^(1/6) proposed in comments shall be checked in the same way.

    m^1/3 + m^1/2 = 2/27
    m^2/6 + m^3/6 = 2/27
    {m^1/6}^2 + {m^1/6}^3 = 1/9 - 1/27
    {m^1/6}^2 + {m^1/6}^3 = (1/3)^2 - (1/3)^3
    let m^1/6 be a.
    a^2 + a^3 - (1/3)^2 + (1/3)^3 = 0
    use a^2 - b^2 and a^3 + b^3 formula and factorize.

    sale un poco más rápido y más intuitivo completando el cubo, queda una expresión donde se ve claramente la factorización: (y + 1/3)^3 - 1/3 (y + 1/3) = 0

    Substitution: y=m^(1/6). Then the original equation implies
    y^3+y^2-2/27=0. [1]
    [1] has an obvious root y=-1/3. Therefore [1] factors as
    (y+1/3)(y+2y/3-2/9)=0 [2] by synthetic divison.
    [2] has three roots: -1/3 , (-1+√3)/3, (-1-√3)/3.
    Therefore m=1/729 or m=[(-1+√3)/3]^6 or m=[(-1-√3)/3]**6.
    By inspection only m=[(-1+√3)/3]^6 solves ∛m+√m=2/27.

      I did it exactly the same. I didn't see the rational root and substituted
      n^6=m then u=n-1/3 which led me to u belongs to {0,√3/3,-√3/3} then we get n and m.
      (1/3)^6 is not a root because 1/9+1/27 2/27
      ((√3+1)/3)^2 + ((√3+1)/3)^3 obviously belongs to R[√3] as there is no way for √3 to cancel
      not sure why video is so long

      ​@@mab9316 we substituted with a square that changes sign.
      But in original equation we either lose the sign or we get complex or extraneous solutions.

      @@mab9316 Yes, there is:
      [1] is implied by the original equation if y=m^(1/6), but [1[ and y=m^(1/6) do not imply the original equation.
      Thus, for all solutions m of the original equation, y=m^(1/6) will be a solution of [1], but not for all solutions y of [1] m=y^6 will necessarily be a solution of the original equation.
      This is similar to x+√x-1=0 and y=x^(1/2) ==> y^2+y-1=0. There are two solutions y1=(-1-√5)/2 and y2=(-1+√5)/2,
      but only x=y2^2 is a solution for the first equation.
