Multiply the terms
(6x5−2x)(2x3)=0
Multiply the terms
(6x5−2x)×2x3=0
Multiply the terms
2x3(6x5−2x)=0
Elimination the left coefficient
x3(6x5−2x)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x3=06x5−2x=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=06x5−2x=0
Solve the equation

Evaluate
6x5−2x=0
Factor the expression
2x(3x4−1)=0
Divide both sides
x(3x4−1)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x=03x4−1=0
Solve the equation

Evaluate
3x4−1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
3x4=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
3x4=1
Divide both sides
33x4=31
Divide the numbers
x4=31
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±431
Simplify the expression
x=±3427
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x=3427x=−3427
x=0x=3427x=−3427
x=0x=0x=3427x=−3427
Find the union
x=0x=3427x=−3427
Solution
x1=−3427,x2=0,x3=3427
