Solve 2x^(2) 6x-5=0

Question

Solve the equation

x = \frac{3 90}{6}

Alternative Form

x \approx 0.746901

Evaluate

2 x^{2} \times 6 x - 5 = 0

Multiply

More Steps

Evaluate

2 x^{2} \times 6 x

Multiply the terms

12 x^{2} \times x

Multiply the terms with the same base by adding their exponents

12 x^{2 + 1}

Add the numbers

12 x^{3}

12 x^{3} - 5 = 0

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

12 x^{3} = 0 + 5

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

12 x^{3} = 5

Divide both sides

\frac{12 x ^{3}}{12} = \frac{5}{12}

Divide the numbers

x^{3} = \frac{5}{12}

Take the 3 -th root on both sides of the equation

3 x^{3} = 3 \frac{5}{12}

Calculate

x = 3 \frac{5}{12}

The product of roots with the same index is equal to the root of the product

3 12 \times 1 2^{2}

Calculate the product

3 1 2^{3}

Reduce the index of the radical and exponent with 3

12

\frac{2 3 90}{12}

Cancel out the common factor 2

\frac{3 90}{6}

x = \frac{3 90}{6}
