−7x2
(3x3−1)(−7x2)=0
Multiply the terms
−7x2(3x3−1)=0
Change the sign
7x2(3x3−1)=0
Elimination the left coefficient
x2(3x3−1)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x2=03x3−1=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=03x3−1=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
3x3−1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
3x3=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
3x3=1
Divide both sides
33x3=31
Divide the numbers
x3=31
Take the 3-th root on both sides of the equation
3x3=331
