Multiply the terms
6a6(2a6−3)=0
Elimination the left coefficient
a6(2a6−3)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
a6=02a6−3=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
a=02a6−3=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
2a6−3=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
2a6=0+3
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
2a6=3
Divide both sides
22a6=23
Divide the numbers
a6=23
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
a=±623
