Multiply the terms

4 x^{2} \times 5 x

Multiply the terms

20 x^{2} \times x

Multiply the terms with the same base by adding their exponents

20 x^{2 + 1}

Add the numbers

20 x^{3}

20 x^{3} - 12 = 0

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

20 x^{3} = 0 + 12

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

20 x^{3} = 12

Divide both sides

\frac{20 x ^{3}}{20} = \frac{12}{20}

Divide the numbers

x^{3} = \frac{12}{20}

Cancel out the common factor 4

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

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

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

Calculate

x = 3 \frac{3}{5}
