Add the numbers
−13x3−2
−13x3−2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−13x3=0+2
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−13x3=2
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
13x3=−2
Divide both sides
1313x3=13−2
Divide the numbers
x3=13−2
Use b−a=−ba=−ba to rewrite the fraction
x3=−132
Take the 3-th root on both sides of the equation
