−24x2(3x3−8)=0
Change the sign
24x2(3x3−8)=0
Elimination the left coefficient
x2(3x3−8)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x2=03x3−8=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=03x3−8=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
3x3−8=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
3x3=0+8
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
3x3=8
Divide both sides
33x3=38
Divide the numbers
x3=38
Take the 3-th root on both sides of the equation
3x3=338
