Add the numbers
372x5
x−39x4−372x5=0
Cross multiply
9x4−372x5=(x−3)×0
Simplify the equation
9x4−372x5=0
Factor the expression
3x4(3−124x)=0
Divide both sides
x4(3−124x)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x4=03−124x=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=03−124x=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
3−124x=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−124x=0−3
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−124x=−3
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
124x=3
Divide both sides
124124x=1243
Divide the numbers
x=1243
x=0x=1243
Check if the solution is in the defined range
x=0x=1243,x=3
Find the intersection of the solution and the defined range
x=0x=1243
Solution
x1=0,x2=1243
