2x7
2x7−6x2×2=0
Multiply the terms
2x7−12x2=0
Factor the expression
2x2(x5−6)=0
Divide both sides
x2(x5−6)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x2=0x5−6=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=0x5−6=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
x5−6=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x5=0+6
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x5=6
Take the 5-th root on both sides of the equation
5x5=56
Calculate
x=56
x=0x=56
