Solve -2x^6 = 2x^6x

Evaluate

- 2 x^{6} = 2 x^{6} \times x

Multiply

More Steps

- 2 x^{6} = 2 x^{7}

Add or subtract both sides

- 2 x^{6} - 2 x^{7} = 0

Factor the expression

- 2 x^{6} (1 + x) = 0

Divide both sides

x^{6} (1 + x) = 0

Separate the equation into 2 possible cases

x^{6} = 0 1 + x = 0

The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0

x = 0 1 + x = 0

Solve the equation

More Steps

x = 0 x = - 1

Solution

x_{1} = - 1, x_{2} = 0
