Solve 2x^5 = -27 - ScanMath

Evaluate

2 x^{5} = - 27

Divide both sides

\frac{2 x ^{5}}{2} = \frac{- 27}{2}

Divide the numbers

x^{5} = \frac{- 27}{2}

Use \frac{- a}{b} = \frac{a}{- b} = - \frac{a}{b} to rewrite the fraction

x^{5} = - \frac{27}{2}

Take the 5 -th root on both sides of the equation

5 x^{5} = 5 - \frac{27}{2}
