Solve 17 = -3x^56

Evaluate

17 = - 3 x^{5} \times 6

Multiply the terms

17 = - 18 x^{5}

Swap the sides of the equation

- 18 x^{5} = 17

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

18 x^{5} = - 17

Divide both sides

\frac{18 x ^{5}}{18} = \frac{- 17}{18}

Divide the numbers

x^{5} = \frac{- 17}{18}

Use \frac{- a}{b} = \frac{a}{- b} = - \frac{a}{b} to rewrite the fraction

x^{5} = - \frac{17}{18}

Take the 5 -th root on both sides of the equation

5 x^{5} = 5 - \frac{17}{18}

Calculate

x = 5 - \frac{17}{18}
