Solve 3x^25x-18=0

Question

Solve the equation

x = \frac{3 150}{5}

Alternative Form

x \approx 1.062659

Evaluate

3 x^{2} \times 5 x - 18 = 0

Multiply

More Steps

Evaluate

3 x^{2} \times 5 x

Multiply the terms

15 x^{2} \times x

Multiply the terms with the same base by adding their exponents

15 x^{2 + 1}

Add the numbers

15 x^{3}

15 x^{3} - 18 = 0

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

15 x^{3} = 0 + 18

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

15 x^{3} = 18

Divide both sides

\frac{15 x ^{3}}{15} = \frac{18}{15}

Divide the numbers

x^{3} = \frac{18}{15}

Cancel out the common factor 3

x^{3} = \frac{6}{5}

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

3 x^{3} = 3 \frac{6}{5}

Calculate

x = 3 \frac{6}{5}
