−6m2−288m9=0
Factor the expression
−6m2(1+48m7)=0
Divide both sides
m2(1+48m7)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
m2=01+48m7=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
m=01+48m7=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
1+48m7=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
48m7=0−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
48m7=−1
Divide both sides
4848m7=48−1
Divide the numbers
m7=48−1
Use b−a=−ba=−ba to rewrite the fraction
m7=−481
Take the 7-th root on both sides of the equation
7m7=7−481
