24x7
3x2−24x7=0
Factor the expression
3x2(1−8x5)=0
Divide both sides
x2(1−8x5)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x2=01−8x5=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=01−8x5=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
1−8x5=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−8x5=0−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−8x5=−1
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
8x5=1
Divide both sides
88x5=81
Divide the numbers
x5=81
Take the 5-th root on both sides of the equation
5x5=581
