Add the numbers
42x3
42x3−8=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
42x3=0+8
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
42x3=8
Divide both sides
4242x3=428
Divide the numbers
x3=428
Cancel out the common factor 2
x3=214
Take the 3-th root on both sides of the equation
3x3=3214
