12x5−36x=0
Factor the expression
12x(x4−3)=0
Divide both sides
x(x4−3)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x=0x4−3=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
x4−3=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x4=0+3
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x4=3
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±43
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x=43x=−43
x=0x=43x=−43
Solution
x1=−43,x2=0,x3=43
Alternative Form
