Multiply the terms with the same base by adding their exponents
20u2+1
Add the numbers
20u3
(20u3−2)(u−6)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
20u3−2=0u−6=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
20u3−2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
20u3=0+2
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
20u3=2
Divide both sides
2020u3=202
Divide the numbers
u3=202
Cancel out the common factor 2
u3=101
Take the 3-th root on both sides of the equation
3u3=3101
Calculate
u=3101
