(x−6)(−15x3−2)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x−6=0−15x3−2=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
x−6=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x=0+6
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x=6
x=6−15x3−2=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
−15x3−2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−15x3=0+2
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−15x3=2
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
15x3=−2
Divide both sides
1515x3=15−2
Divide the numbers
x3=15−2
Use b−a=−ba=−ba to rewrite the fraction
x3=−152
Take the 3-th root on both sides of the equation
