−28x5−1218x7=0
Factor the expression
−14x5(2+87x2)=0
Divide both sides
x5(2+87x2)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x5=02+87x2=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=02+87x2=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
2+87x2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
87x2=0−2
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
87x2=−2
Divide both sides
8787x2=87−2
Divide the numbers
x2=87−2
Use b−a=−ba=−ba to rewrite the fraction
x2=−872
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±−872
