Type your math problem... 2(3x^3)= x 12

Question

Solve the equation

x_{1} = - 2, x_{2} = 0, x_{3} = 2

Alternative Form

x_{1} \approx - 1.414214, x_{2} = 0, x_{3} \approx 1.414214

Evaluate

2 \times 3 x^{3} = x \times 12

Multiply the numbers

6 x^{3} = x \times 12

Use the commutative property to reorder the terms

6 x^{3} = 12 x

Add or subtract both sides

6 x^{3} - 12 x = 0

Factor the expression

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

Divide both sides

x (x^{2} - 2) = 0

Separate the equation into 2 possible cases

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

Solve the equation

More Steps

Evaluate

x^{2} - 2 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

x^{2} = 0 + 2

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

x^{2} = 2

Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots

x = \pm 2

Separate the equation into 2 possible cases

x = 2 x = - 2

x = 0 x = 2 x = - 2

Solution

x_{1} = - 2, x_{2} = 0, x_{3} = 2

Alternative Form

x_{1} \approx - 1.414214, x_{2} = 0, x_{3} \approx 1.414214
