2x4(10x3−3)=0
Elimination the left coefficient
x4(10x3−3)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x4=010x3−3=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=010x3−3=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
10x3−3=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
10x3=0+3
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
10x3=3
Divide both sides
1010x3=103
Divide the numbers
x3=103
Take the 3-th root on both sides of the equation
3x3=3103
