Find the roots
x=−6
Evaluate
(−x−6)5×2
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
(−x−6)5×2=0
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
2(−x−6)5=0
Rewrite the expression
(−x−6)5=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
−x−6=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−x=0+6
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−x=6
Solution
x=−6
