Question
Solve the equation
x1=−1,x2=0,x3=1
Evaluate
15x=15x5
Add or subtract both sides
15x−15x5=0
Factor the expression
15x(1−x4)=0
Divide both sides
x(1−x4)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x=01−x4=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
1−x4=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−x4=0−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−x4=−1
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
x4=1
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±41
Simplify the expression
x=±1
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x=1x=−1
x=0x=1x=−1
Solution
x1=−1,x2=0,x3=1
