Evaluate
(x2)3
Transform the expression
x2×3
Multiply the numbers
x6
x6(x−2)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x6=0x−2=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=0x−2=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
x−2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x=0+2
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x=2
x=0x=2
Solution
x1=0,x2=2
