2x5−5x2=0
Factor the expression
x2(2x3−5)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x2=02x3−5=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=02x3−5=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
2x3−5=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
2x3=0+5
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
2x3=5
Divide both sides
22x3=25
Divide the numbers
x3=25
Take the 3-th root on both sides of the equation
3x3=325
