Solve 3x^2 6x-4=0

Question

3 x^{2} \times 6 x - 4 = 0

Solve the equation

x = \frac{3 6}{3}

Alternative Form

x \approx 0.605707

Evaluate

3 x^{2} \times 6 x - 4 = 0

Multiply

More Steps

Evaluate

3 x^{2} \times 6 x

Multiply the terms

18 x^{2} \times x

Multiply the terms with the same base by adding their exponents

18 x^{2 + 1}

Add the numbers

18 x^{3}

18 x^{3} - 4 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

18 x^{3} = 0 + 4

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

18 x^{3} = 4

Divide both sides

\frac{18 x ^{3}}{18} = \frac{4}{18}

Divide the numbers

x^{3} = \frac{4}{18}

Cancel out the common factor 2

x^{3} = \frac{2}{9}

Take the 3 -th root on both sides of the equation

3 x^{3} = 3 \frac{2}{9}

Calculate

x = 3 \frac{2}{9}
