20s3
120s8−20s3=0
Factor the expression
20s3(6s5−1)=0
Divide both sides
s3(6s5−1)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
s3=06s5−1=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
s=06s5−1=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
6s5−1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
6s5=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
6s5=1
Divide both sides
66s5=61
Divide the numbers
s5=61
Take the 5-th root on both sides of the equation
5s5=561
